How to do it

Maintain a slight bend in both knees through the entire set.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Place one hand behind your head with the elbow flared out.

  3. 3

    Lean your head towards the opposite knee, contracting the side of your abdomen.

  4. 4

    Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.

Expert tip

Ensure you're bending directly to the side and not diagonally forward to maintain proper form and target the obliques effectively.
