Lie centered on the carriage.
Bring legs to tabletop position.
Interlace hands behind the head, elbows wide.

Movement:
Curl head, neck, and shoulders into an abdominal lift.
Exhale, extend one leg to 45° as the opposite knee stays in tabletop.
Rotate the torso slightly toward the bent knee.
Inhale, switch legs.
Exhale, extend the opposite leg as the other knee bends in to tabletop.
Continue alternating with a controlled rhythm.

Crunches in the Centre:
