How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your hands beside your head and legs raised, knees bent to 90 degrees.
  2. Curl your shoulder blades off the floor.
  3. Bring one knee toward your chest while rotating the opposite shoulder toward it.
  4. Switch sides in one smooth, controlled motion.
  5. Slow beats fast here. Your elbow does not need to touch your knee - the rotation is the point.
