  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, one hand on your hip and the other raised above your head.
  2. Shift weight to one leg, lifting the opposite knee towards your elbow.
  3. Simultaneously lower the raised arm to meet the knee, performing a side crunch.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
  5. Maintain a stable core throughout the movement.
