Instructions
Initiate Position: Begin in a kneeling position on the floor. Extend your feet behind you and stack your heels to one side.
Setup: Place one hand on the floor directly under your shoulder for support. Your body should form a straight line from head to knees.
Arm Positioning: Raise your opposite arm straight above you, so that both arms form a line with your shoulders.
Movement: Keeping your hips elevated and your core engaged, slowly rotate your torso and thread your raised arm underneath your body, rotating only at the waist.
Return to Start: Reverse the movement to return to the starting position with your arm extended above you.
Perform Reps: Perform the desired number of repetitions and then repeat on the other side.
Maintain Control: Be sure to control the motion throughout the exercise and maintain a stable, neutral spine. Adjust your hand placement for comfort and control, and don't let your hips sag.
