How to do 3-Way Leg Crunch

Lie on your back with arms extended down, using elbows to prop up your upper body. With legs slightly off the ground and near-straight, lift them towards the ceiling. Lower them back down, shift to the right side, and repeat. Return to center and repeat, then shift to the left side, and repeat.

Common mistakes

Not engaging the core, relying too much on arms, using momentum instead of controlled movements.

Breathing

Exhale as you lift legs, inhale as you lower and transition between sides.
