How to do Starfish Crunch Rotate

Start lying flat on your back, arms and legs extended out in an 'X' shape. Crunch up, reaching your right hand towards your left foot. Lower back down. On the next rep, reach your left hand to your right foot. Continue alternating with each rep.

Common mistakes

Avoid straining your neck. Engage your core throughout and keep movements controlled to effectively target the obliques.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower back to the starting position; exhale during the crunch and reach. Alternate sides with each exhale.
