Here’s how to do it: Lie down on your back. Bend your knees, place your feet flat, and shift your hips over to the right. Then extend both legs straight in that direction. Take your left leg, cross it over your right leg. With your hands behind your head, crunch straight up to the ceiling. Go for 50 reps on that side and lower down.
