How to do it
- Lie on your back with your arms pointing at the ceiling and your knees bent to 90° over your hips.
- Press your lower back into the floor and brace your core.
- Slowly lower one arm overhead and the opposite leg toward the floor, then bring them back.
- Alternate sides, moving only as far as you can keep your lower back flat.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
