How to do it
Turn your head to follow your hands on each rotation.
- 1
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat.
- 2
Lean back slightly to engage the abs.
- 3
Clasp your hands together in front of you.
- 4
Twist your torso to one side, bringing your hands towards the floor beside your hip.
- 5
Quickly reverse the motion, performing a 'chopping' action to the opposite side.
- 6
Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your movements controlled and deliberate, focusing on twisting from the torso rather than just moving your arms.
