How to do Alternating Upper Circle Crunches
Lay flat on your back, hands behind your head. Engage your core and lift your upper body in a circular motion to the left and then to the right. Imagine drawing a semi-circle with your elbows while keeping the lower back pressed to the floor.
Common mistakes
Tugging on the neck. Lifting using the shoulders instead of engaging the core. Not keeping a controlled motion.
Breathing
Inhale as you start the motion, exhale during the upward curve, and inhale again as you return to the starting position.
