    Is there an... Easier way to do it? ;-; When it comes to keeping my legs up, it hurts so much. And then I can't breathe from it. ;-; My thighs are too big. So yeah, is there an easier way?
    Edit: The replies are triggering oof- But I can do it now. It's not that it was hard or I was morbidly obese. I was doing it horribly wrong ;-;

    • @toneandtighten
      @toneandtighten  Před 6 lety +83

      Hi TheWeirdoGirl. To make the move easier you can break it up into parts. You can do crunches where you just lift your shoulder blades off the floor. You can do marches where you alternate lifting your right foot and then your left. Or you can do double leg raises where you pick both feet up off the floor at the same time and then put them back. All are different variations that might help to make this more successful for you! Hope that helps!

  • @metothemoon1227
    @metothemoon1227 Před 2 měsíci

    I'm not talking about you Jared, but very few people know how to breathe correctly during sports, exhale during the effort and inhale when relaxing. The abs are done with the lower back touching the ground (except maybe for the bicycle one) and the neck not moving, During the effort it is like if the rib cage comes to touch the pubis (humor but you get the idea.)
    Always exhale with the effort and inhale when relaxing. Same thing for exercises with dumbbells or others, the breathing is always reversed, and often people do the opposite of that and ultimately they stupidly ruin all their efforts.

      It might be in your breathing pattern. Breathe out when you do the crunch, and breath in when you rotate to the other leg. Also you should do research on diaphragmatic breathing.

      Most often your back arching is due to core weakness. Try to do just the legs and try do them with your back flat. Give that a week or two and slowly reincorporate the arms back into it.

    It's just hard for me to get the elbow to reach the knee

    Only doing left/right would count one or doing both sides will count one?

      I usually count 1 touch to each side as 1 rep. For example - touch left, touch right = 1. Hope that helps!
