How to do it
- Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet hooked under something steady or resting on the floor.
- Lean back so your body and thighs make a V shape, and reach your arms forward with hands clasped.
- Twist your torso to the right, pause, and come back to the middle.
- Twist to the left and keep alternating.
Beginner tip: Twist slowly and turn your chest with your hands, not just your arms.
