How to do it

Keep both knees pressed together throughout the set.

  1. 1

    Sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet lifted slightly, and hold a weight with both hands.

  2. 2

    Lean back slightly to engage your abs.

  3. 3

    Rotate your torso to one side, bringing the weight towards the floor beside you.

  4. 4

    Rotate to the opposite side, moving the weight smoothly and with control.

  5. 5

    Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your abs tight and move with control, rather than using momentum, to maximize the engagement of your core muscles.
