You will have to get off your butt today!!!

Hi Guys,

Today I am going to show you how to do the standing knee cross  crunch.

www.womenshealthmag.com

This is a very easy exercise to do.

Standing up makes it more challenging because you have to use other muscles in your core to maintain your balance. 

You can do this exercise at a speed that suits you.

You should start off slowly until you have got the form perfected before you start to speed up the movement.

Do not go too fast however, always make sure that you are using excellent form. 

Let us look at how to perform this exercise.

• Stand with your shoulders in line with your hips, and extend your left arm up and your right leg to the side, toes pointed. 

• Lower your left elbow and raise your right knee, crunching them together on a diagonal line. Return to the starting position. 

 

• That's one rep. Do 12 to 15 on each side.

This is a nice and simple  exercise but it strengthens your core and improves your breathing. 

I have provided a video in case you are unsure about your form.
