Instructions
- Start the exercise by kneeling on the floor with one leg in front of you and bent at a 90-degree angle. Keep your chest up and place your hand in front of your front knee behind your head.
- Using your abs, do a diagonal twist all over your body, bringing your elbow to your knee. Pause here and then return to the starting position.
Tips
- Tighten your abs and glutes throughout the exercise to improve stability.
- In no case do not round the lower back.
- Rotate through the body without moving the lower body.
Alternative Exercises
Side Plank
Side Plank works your obliques, the muscles that run along the side of your core. Keeping your obliques strong can make rotating and bending your trunk easier.
