How to perform

  1. 1

    Sit in a chair so your back is straight and your feet planted on the floor.

  2. 2

    Interlace your fingers behind your head, elbows out and your chin down.

  3. 3

    Twist your upper body to one side about 3 times as far as you can. Then lean forward and twist your torso to reach your elbow to the floor on the inside of your knee.

  4. 4

    Return to upright position and then repeat for your other side.

Important tips

  • Initiate every pull from your shoulder blades, not your hands.

  • Keep your torso still — no swinging for extra reps.

  • Pause briefly at full contraction before returning.
