The weighted twisting crunch builds stronger abs and obliques while adding rotation for better core power. It hits your entire midsection harder than regular crunches.
1. Lie on your back holding a dumbbell or weight plate against your chest with both hands. 2. Bend your knees to 90 degrees and keep your feet flat on the floor. 3. Crunch up while rotating your torso to the right, bringing your left shoulder toward your right knee. 4. Lower back down with control and repeat the weighted twisting crunch to the left side. 5. Keep alternating sides for your desired reps, holding the weight tight to your chest throughout.
• Keep the weight pressed firmly against your chest during the entire weighted twisting crunch movement • Focus on rotating from your core, not just moving your arms or shoulders around • Don't rush the movement - control both the up and down phases for better muscle activation • Keep your lower back pressed into the floor to protect your spine during weighted twisting crunches
• Using your neck to pull yourself up instead of engaging your abs during the weighted twisting crunch • Rotating too fast or using momentum instead of controlled muscle movement • Holding the weight away from your body, which puts unnecessary strain on your arms and shoulders
