Core Exercises: Triangle Crunches

Video Transcript

"In this clip, we're going to be doing triangle crunches with the inflatable ball. So you're going to start seated on your mat. You're going to gently roll down, keeping mindful of the back. Extend the arms, taking one leg extended, other with the knee bent. And you're going to reach up and extend the arm towards the leg and you're going to lift that lever up and the leg at the very same time. OK, nice and slow and controlled. So you're going to exhale up and inhale down. I would keep the foot flexed so you can have a higher intensity level. But if you want to point the toe and alternate, that's another way to change up your exercise. You're going to feel this in through the calves and the hamstrings if you vary it up. Going to reach up, now if you have back issues you can modify this exercise. An alternate modification is just to lift the leg up and the arm and keep the back firmly on the mat."
