O'kay in this clip we are going to do one legged crunch and we are going to alternate legs. Start with your arms over head, legs down flat, and what you are going to do is you are going to extend your arms up, one leg at a time. You are going to take that other leg down and come up as far as you can come up and some people can't come up very far because their abs are not quite as strong as others so you may need to modify a little bit or even more, just bring one leg up with the arms but if your back is fairly strong and you feel comfortable coming up all the way and your abs are strong enough, then go ahead and try. This is nice and challenging and you want to keep it nice and slow and controlled, exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down. Your foot is going to be flexed and start with maybe three sets of 10 to 15 or if you have not exercised in a long time you may want to cut it down to two. It is all about form and technique, the more you concentrate on that the more you are going to feel it and the more of a benefit you are going to get from your exercise.
