Instructions

1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms fully extended out to the sides parallel to the floor.

2. Lift your right leg straight up as high as you can, keeping your knee straight, while simultaneously lowering your left arm towards the raised leg in a diagonal motion.

3. Aim to touch your left fingers to the outside of your right foot, engaging your core and obliques as you perform the crunching motion.

4. Return to the starting position with control, keeping your arm and leg movements smooth.

5. Repeat the motion on the opposite side, this time lifting your left leg and lowering your right arm towards the foot.

6. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Remember to engage your core throughout the exercise, maintain good posture, and perform the movement in a controlled manner to avoid any kind of strain or injury.
