How to do it
- Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat, and lean your torso back until it is at roughly forty-five degrees to the floor.
- Hold your hands together in front of your chest, or hold a single weight there, and lift your feet clear of the floor if you can hold the position steadily.
- Turn your torso to one side until your hands are beside your hip, then turn smoothly to the other side. That is one repetition.
- Keep the movement coming from your ribcage rather than your arms, and repeat.
