Half Seated Leg Circle

Half reclined on the forearms, both straight legs held together draw wide circles in the air while the abs hold the trunk still.

How to do it

Setup

Leaning back on the forearms, elbows under the shoulders, legs straight and together just off the floor.

Steps

  1. Circle both legs out to one side, up, and down the other side.
  2. Keep the legs together and the knees straight.
  3. Reverse the direction halfway through the set.

Common mistakes

Lower back arching as the legs drop: make the circle smaller and higher. Rocking the trunk with the legs: brace so only the legs move. Legs parting: squeeze them together.

Breathing

Steady throughout; never held.
