Instructions

Setup

  • Begin in a modified side plank position on your forearm. Ensure your bottom leg is bent at the knee with your shin and knee firmly against the mat for support.

  • Extend your top leg straight out in line with your hips.

  • Reach your top arm straight overhead, fully extending it to create a long line down your side.

Movement

  • Simultaneously pull your top knee toward your torso and bring your top hand down to meet your knee.

  • Try to tap your elbow to your knee for a full range of motion, engaging your obliques fully.

  • Control the return by extending the leg back to the starting side plank position and reaching the arm back overhead.

  • Maintain a lifted hip throughout the motion, avoiding sagging toward the floor.
