Add this 1 move to your fitness routine to get stronger abs — and improve heart health Peloton instructor Jess Sims joined this hosts of TODAY this morning to walk them through easy low-impact, high-intensity moves designed to help you improve your heart health.    According to Sims, standing crunches are an amazing — and effective — move that work the obliques without crunching the neck. Not only that, but standing crunches are easy peasy.    Here are the two steps: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, your arms behind your head and your abs engaged. Bring your right elbow to your left knee as you twist through your waist, then return to the starting position. Then repeat on the left side.  Sims also has a pro tip to help you get the most out of your standing crunches. For an easier workout, alternate sides. To really feel the burn, try doing 30-45 seconds of crunches on one side and then repeating on the other side. WATCH > Wellness News Does sugar really make kids hyper?
