Instructions

Proper Position

  • Lie on your side, resting on one elbow placed directly beneath your shoulder.
  • Stack your legs on top of each other or place your top foot in front of your bottom foot for more stability.
  • Engage your core and keep your body straight, forming a line from shoulders to feet.
  • Place your other arm along your body or on your hip.

Movement

  • Slowly lower your hips toward the floor without touching it.
  • Immediately lift your hips back toward the ceiling, contracting your obliques and core muscles.
  • Repeat this motion fluidly for the desired number of repetitions.
  • Switch sides to balance the workload.

Breathing

  • Inhale as you lower your hips.
  • Exhale as you lift your hips.

Tips

  • Maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise to avoid curving your back or slumping your shoulders.
  • If the exercise is too challenging, place your lower knee on the floor to reduce the load.
  • Focus on engaging your obliques and keep a controlled pace to avoid jerky movements.
  • Fix your gaze on a point ahead of you to maintain balance.
