How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weight with both hands. Start with the weight near one shoulder, arms slightly bent. Engage your core and rotate your torso, bringing the weight diagonally across your body to the opposite hip. Allow natural hip and knee pivot. Reverse to the starting position. Repeat on both sides.
