Instructions

Setup

  1. Lie flat on your back on a mat, placing your hands behind your head with elbows pointing outward.

  2. Lift your legs so your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, with your thighs perpendicular to the floor.

Movement

  1. Inhale and engage your core, lifting your head and shoulders slightly off the ground.

  2. Exhale as you extend your right leg straight out while simultaneously twisting your torso to bring your right elbow toward your left knee.

  3. Return to the starting position in a smooth, controlled motion while inhaling.

  4. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side, extending your left leg straight while bringing your left elbow toward your right knee.

  5. Continue alternating sides, maintaining a steady, pedaling rhythm without pulling on your neck.
