Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Lean back slightly so your torso is at about a 45-degree angle.
- 2
Clasp your hands together in front of your chest or hold a light weight.
- 3
Engage your core and rotate your torso to the right, bringing your hands toward the floor beside your right hip.
- 4
Return to center, then rotate to the left.
- 5
Continue alternating sides for the prescribed reps.
Notes
Keep your back straight throughout — do not round your spine. The movement should come from your waist, not your arms. Keep your hips facing forward.
