Instructions:

  • 1Lie flat on your back on a mat with your arms extended straight up towards the ceiling.
  • 2Bend your knees at a 90 degree angle with your feet raised off the floor.
  • 3Slowly extend your right leg straight out, while also lowering your left arm above your head.
  • 4Return to the starting position in a controlled manner.
  • 5Repeat the same motion on the opposite side.

Tips:

  • Keep your lower back pressed against the mat to prevent strain.
  • Concentrate on the abdominal muscle contraction and breathe deeply and rhythmically.
  • Avoid rushing the motions—keeping it slow and precise is more effective.
  • Make sure your shoulders are relaxed and not shrugging up to your ears.
