The Crossover crunch core exercise starts out with the student on their back. This is a terrific exercise for the abs. Hands are folded behind the head with elbows open. Left leg is bent and folded over the knee of the right leg. That folded leg calf is at a 90 degree angle to the thigh. The right foot is on the ground, below shoulder width. The motion for this core exercise is to bring the right arm and shoulder across the body, flexing the torso, towards the left knee. Meanwhile, the left elbow stays in contact with the ground. Exhale while moving towards the knee, and inhale while lowering. Do 10 of these, holding each for one second. Then switch sides and do this exercise with left foot on the ground, right leg on the knee of the left, and bringing the left arm and shoulder through in the crunch.
