How to do Leg Crunches
Start with your back elevated off the ground and arms beside you on the floor for support. With knees slightly bent, lift your legs while simultaneously elevating your upper body towards your legs.
Common mistakes
Avoid straining or arching your back. Always engage the core and use arms solely for stability, not for pulling.
Breathing
Exhale as you crunch upwards; inhale as you return to the starting position. Repeat.
