Standing Side Crunch - Dumbbell
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin by holding a dumbbell in one hand at your side. From here, let the dumbbell’s weight pull your body to the side as far you feel comfortable and then pull yourself back up into the starting position.
- FEEL: You should feel a stretch in your side and your oblique muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Avoid rotation in the upper body, focus on a pure side bend. Keep your arm straight holding the dumbbell.
