How to perform

Advanced rotational exercise targeting obliques, rectus abdominis, and transverse abdominis. Lie on your back, arms extended, palms firmly pressed into the floor. Lift legs to a perpendicular position, forming an ‘L’ shape. Brace your core, keeping shoulders pressed into the floor. Slowly lower legs to one side, controlling the descent with your obliques – only lower as far as you can maintain shoulder contact. Return to center and repeat on the opposite side. One rep is a complete sweep to both sides. Exhale as you return to center, inhale as you lower. Maintain straight legs to increase difficulty; bend knees if needed. Focus on slow, controlled movements (3-4 seconds per side) to maximize core engagement.

Tips

Control the movement with slow, deliberate descents. Press your palms firmly into the floor to stabilize your shoulders. Maintain a neutral or flat lower back throughout the exercise. Find your optimal range of motion where you can maintain control.
