1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold your arms above your head with your elbows slightly bent, palms facing each other.
2. Engage Your Core:
- Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your torso. You should feel your core engaged.
3. Movement - Twist:
- Rotate your torso to the right, keeping your arms elevated.
- As you twist, lift your right knee up towards your chest, bringing it in alignment with your hip.
4. Return Position:
- Lower your right leg back down as you return your torso to the starting position.
- Quickly transition to the left side, twisting your torso to the left while lifting your left knee up towards your chest.
