Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Air Twisting Crunch.
The Air Twisting Crunch is a bodyweight core exercise that combines a standard crunch with a rotational twist, performed with feet lifted off the ground. It effectively targets the rectus abdominis and obliques through simultaneous flexion and rotation of the trunk.
The Air Twisting Crunch is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
