Breathe out and contract your abs to bring your knees up towards your chest and raise your hips off the floor. then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position and avoid to bring your legs all the way back to the ground.

Reverse Crunches should be done slowly with complete control. This keeps the abs under tension for a longer period and prevents you from putting strain on your lower back, which can happen if you rush the movement. If you’re arching your lower back when lowering your legs, that’s a sign you’re not moving in a controlled.

Oblique Crunches:

Lie on the floor facing up with your knees bent and feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on the back of your head. Do not interlace your fingers. Engage your abs.

Your lower back stays on the floor throughout the entire movement. Release and untwist on an inhale.
