Instructions:

  • 1Start by laying flat on your back with your arms out to the sides in a T shape
  • 2Bend your knees and lift your feet off the ground until your calves are parallel to the floor
  • 3Now slowly let your knees fall to one side. Keep your upper back pressing down into the floor
  • 4Hold this position for a few seconds before returning to the starting position
  • 5Switch to the other side and repeat

Tips:

  • Always engage your core when performing this exercise
  • Avoid using your lower back to initiate the rotation - the motion should come from your hips
  • Remember to maintain controlled movements, don't let momentum take over
  • Ensure your upper body remains flat on the mat throughout the exercise
