Side Plank Crunch
Begin in a side plank position, with right hand planted firmly in the sand, shoulder over wrist, left arm pointed towards the sky. The body is in one long straight line of energy from the crown to the toes, with ankles stacked. Inhale the left finger tips overhead, creating a crescent shape with the body, lifting the hips high, while engaging the obliques and abs. Exhale hand back to center and curl it down underneath the ribcage. Inhale to center, and repeat these steps 5x, then switch sides.
