Side-Lying Oblique Cycle Tuck

1. Starting Position:
- Lie down on your side with your legs extended straight.
- Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Support your head with your lower arm, and place your upper hand behind your head.

2. Leg Positioning:
- Bend your knees slightly, keeping your feet together and aligned with your hips. Your lower leg can stay on the ground for stability.

3. Movement:
- Engage your core muscles and lift your upper body slightly.
- Bring your knees towards your chest while simultaneously rotating your torso towards your raised knees.
- Keep your elbows wide and avoid pulling on your neck.

4. Cycling Motion:
- Straighten one leg out while turning your torso back to the starting position.
- Alternate legs in a cycling motion, pulling in one leg while extending the other.
- Perform the movement in a controlled and rhythmic manner for maximum engagement of the oblique muscles.

5. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10–15 repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.

Breathing:
- Exhale as you pull your knees in and rotate your torso.
- Inhale as you extend your legs and return to the starting position.

Tips:
- Keep your movements smooth and intentional to maintain good form.
- Focus on engaging your oblique muscles throughout the exercise.
