How to do it

  1. Lie down on your back and fold your knees while keeping your feet on the floor.

  2. Place your right hand behind your head and your left hand on the floor for support.

  3. Raise and twist your chest to your left and bring your right elbow towards the left knee.

  4. Return to the starting position and repeat.

Form tips

  • Focus on using your oblique muscles to twist your torso rather than pulling on your neck with your hands.

  • Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.

  • Ensure your lower back remains pressed into the mat to protect your spine.
