Instructions

Setup

  • Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat, keeping your spine neutral and engaged through your core.

  • Hold a single dumbbell vertically with both hands directly above your chest, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.

  • Extend your legs into the air, knees bent at a 90-degree angle (tabletop position).

Movement

  • Simultaneously lower the dumbbell overhead towards the floor while extending one leg straight out until it is just above the ground.

  • Maintain low-back contact with the mat throughout the entire movement to ensure the core is doing the work.

  • Return the dumbbell to the starting position above your chest while pulling your extended leg back to the tabletop position.

  • Repeat the movement on the opposite side, alternating legs with each repetition while keeping the dumbbell moving in a controlled arc.
