How to do Swiss Ball Oblique Crunch

Proper Position

  • Place a Swiss Ball on a stable surface and sit on it.
  • Roll slightly forward on the ball until your lower back is supported by the ball.
  • Position your feet hip-width apart for stability, and place your hands behind your head or crossed over your chest.
  • Lean slightly to engage your core.

Movement

  • Slowly rotate your torso to one side, contracting your obliques, until your elbow moves toward the opposite hip.
  • Return to the center position, then rotate to the other side to repeat the motion symmetrically.
  • Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

  • Inhale as you return to the center.
  • Exhale as you twist to one side.

Tips

  • Focus on a slow, controlled contraction of the obliques without using momentum.
  • Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground to prevent slipping.
  • Maintain a slight natural curve in your lower back for added comfort.
