Standing Criss-Cross Crunches
This exercise introduces a core movement and dynamic trunk rotation.

Step 1: Stand with your feet approximately shoulder-width apart. Place your hands behind your head with your elbows extended straight out.

Step 2: Begin by lifting your right leg with your knee bent while moving it across your midline. Simultaneously, rotate your trunk to the right as far as you can while staying upright. Bend your hip up to a comfortable range and slowly lower your leg back to the starting position while turning your trunk back toward the front. Repeat the movement using your left leg.

Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 30 repetitions.

For this activity, you can either perform 30 repetitions while alternating sides or work one side at a time. I find that alternating sides feels the most natural, although it can be harder to keep track of counts.
