Instructions

Starting Position

Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and your torso slightly reclined. Place your fingers lightly behind your ears, keeping your elbows wide.

Movement

  1. Lean back slightly to engage your core, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.

  2. Lift both legs off the ground, maintaining a slight bend in the knees.

  3. Simultaneously flex your torso and twist to your right while pulling your right knee toward your left elbow.

  4. Return to the starting position and immediately perform the motion on the opposite side, bringing your left knee toward your right elbow.

  5. Continue to alternate sides in a rhythmic, controlled manner, focusing on rotation from the core rather than just pulling the neck.
