Form tips

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maximize muscle activation and protect your lower back.

  • Perform the movement slowly and with control, avoiding the use of momentum to maximize effectiveness.

  • Breathe steadily, exhaling as you twist and bring your elbow to your knee, and inhaling as you switch sides.
