How to do it
- Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, a dumbbell in one hand and your other hand on your waist.
- Slowly lean toward the side holding the dumbbell, without bending forward or back.
- Use the side of your waist to pull yourself back up straight.
- Finish your reps, then switch hands and repeat on the other side.
Do all reps on one side, then switch.
Beginner tip: Bend straight to the side, as if between two walls.
