Spider Crawl

Spider crawls are a great exercise for your entire core. These plank crunches work up your rectus abdominis, obliques, and lower back.

They involve your abdomen in all these three actions: rotation, anti-extension, and flexion. They are done without any equipment involved.

How to do:

  • Start with the traditional plank position.
  • Keep your forearms on the ground and your body perfectly straight.
  • Bring your left knee forward towards your left elbow
  • Now go back to the plank position.
  • Repeat with right side too.
  • Complete 10 reps.

Grab your blue spandex and start crawling, Spidey!

When you do a bicycle crunch, all the key areas of your abdomen get worked at the same time. It is a combination of regular crunches, side-to-side motion, and reverse crunches which target your obliques, lower abs, and rectus abdominis.

  • Lifting your head, and shoulders off the ground bring your left hand towards your right foot. Do the same with your other hand too.
