Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms bent at your sides.
- 2
Lift your right knee towards your chest while simultaneously twisting your torso to bring your left elbow towards the raised knee.
- 3
Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side, lifting your left knee and twisting to bring your right elbow towards it.

Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
