Diagonal Crunches
Much like the traditional crunch, you’ll need to lie on your back for this exercise. Fold your hands behind your head and keep your elbows out first, and then lift your head and chest off the ground. Instead of merely going forward, move your body diagonally, connecting your left elbow to your right knee. Then do the opposite, connecting your right elbow to your left knee.
This exercise is great for working the muscles on the sides of your stomach. Many people forget about these muscles while exercising, but those muscles will give you a toned waistline. Work on your waist with diagonal crunches to strengthen those muscles, and you’ll be one step closer to a stomach that you’re proud to show off.
