How to perform

Lie on your back, arms extended with a dumbbell/plate. Lift legs to 90 degrees, knees bent. Engage your core, lower right arm and left leg simultaneously, keeping lower back pressed to the mat. Return to start, alternate sides.

Tips

Maintain a neutral spine. Control movements for core engagement. Keep lower back on the mat. Start with lighter weight. Breathe steadily, exhale on lowering, inhale on return.
