Exercise Description

Seated Alternating Reverse Crunch is a great exercise that helps strengthen and tone your core, which includes the abdominal and oblique muscles and the powers of the lower back.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Sit on the floor, arms outstretched to the sides, palms pressed to the floor. Start by bending one knee so that your foot is on the floor and straighten the other leg completely, lifting it off the floor by an inch.
  • Step 2

    Tighten your abs and lean back on your shoulder blades, bending both knees. The legs should pass over the head with the momentum of the roll. Place your hands on the floor behind you for support.
  • Step 3

    Rock forward to the starting position, returning to the starting position with one leg bent and the other fully extended. Use your abs and arms to lift your hips slightly off the floor. Then return to the starting position.
