How to do Clap Crunch

Lie on your back with knees raised and legs forming nearly a 90-degree angle, hands extended overhead. As you engage your core, perform a crunch, bringing your hands under your legs to lightly touch your fingertips together. Slowly return to the starting position.

Common mistakes

Using momentum instead of controlled core engagement. Pushing the neck forward instead of focusing on abdominal contraction.

Breathing

Exhale during the upward crunch and fingertip touch; inhale as you return to the starting position.
