Flowin Side Plank Reverse Crunch Tips

  1. Engage your obliques and abs by starting in a side plank position, with your forearm on the flowin board and your body in a straight line from head to toe. Keep your core tight and your hips lifted, creating a strong and stable base.
  2. As you exhale, bring your top knee towards your chest, simultaneously crunching your obliques and abs. Focus on the contraction in your core as you bring your knee as close to your chest as possible, feeling the burn in your obliques.
  3. Slowly extend your leg back to the starting position, maintaining control and stability throughout the movement. Keep your core engaged and your body aligned, avoiding any excessive swinging or twisting.
  4. For an added challenge, you can incorporate a slight rotation in the movement by bringing your knee towards your opposite elbow. This will further engage your obliques and increase the intensity of the exercise.
  5. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you prepare for the movement and exhaling as you crunch your obliques. Stay focused and push through any discomfort, knowing that each repetition brings you closer to a stronger and more defined core.
