- 1
Lie down on the floor placing your feet either under something that will not move or by having a partner hold them. Your legs should be bent at the knees.
- 2
Elevate your upper body so that it creates an imaginary V-shape with your thighs. Your arms should be fully extended in front of you perpendicular to your torso and with the hands clasped. This is the starting position.
- 3
Twist your torso to the right side until your arms are parallel with the floor while breathing out.
- 4
Hold the contraction for a second and move back to the starting position while breathing out. Now move to the opposite side performing the same techniques you applied to the right side.
- 5
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Important tips
Exhale on the effort — brace your abs before every rep.
Slow reps make the difference — abs hate momentum.
Keep your lower back glued to the floor where applicable.
