How to do it

Turn your head to follow your hands on each rotation.

  1. 1

    Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat.

  2. 2

    Lean back slightly to engage the abs.

  3. 3

    Clasp your hands together in front of you.

  4. 4

    Twist your torso to one side, bringing your hands towards the floor beside your hip.

  5. 5

    Quickly reverse the motion, performing a 'chopping' action to the opposite side.

  6. 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.

Common mistakes
