How to do it

Lengthen your body from fingertips to toes as you circle.

  1. 1

    Lie face down on the floor with your arms extended above your head.

  2. 2

    Lift your arms, legs, and chest off the floor to engage your back and glute muscles.

  3. 3

    Slowly move your arms in a circular motion from above your head to your sides and then down towards your hips while maintaining the lift.

  4. 4

    Reverse the motion, bringing your arms back to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Hold each position for a few seconds before moving to the next.

Expert tip

Focus on keeping your movements controlled and deliberate to maximize muscle engagement and avoid momentum taking over.
