  3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
  4. Slowly bend your torso to the right side, keeping your back straight and your left arm extended downwards.
  5. Return to the starting position by straightening your torso and bringing your left arm back up.
  6. Repeat the movement to the left side, bending your torso and extending your right arm downwards.

Bodybow Side Crunch Tips

  1. Position the bodybow on your side, with your knees slightly bent and your feet flat on the ground.
  2. Place your bottom hand on the bodybow for stability, and extend your top arm straight up towards the ceiling.
  3. Engage your abs by pulling your belly button towards your spine, and keep your core tight throughout the exercise.
  4. Exhale as you lift your legs and hips off the ground, while maintaining a controlled movement.
  5. Focus on using your oblique muscles to lift your body, rather than relying on momentum.
  6. Lower your legs and hips back down to the starting position, inhaling as you do so. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
