Half Wipers (Bent Leg)
The windshield wiper with the knees bent and held over the hips: the shorter legs make it the easier half of the straight-leg wipers.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, arms out wide, palms down, hips and knees bent to 90° with the shins level.
Steps
- Lower both knees together toward the floor on one side.
- Stop while the opposite shoulder is still down.
- Bring the knees back over the hips, then lower to the other side.
Common mistakes
Knees drifting apart: keep them pressed together. Upper back twisting off the floor: the knees go only as far as the shoulders allow. Letting the legs fall to the floor: lower them slowly and bring them back with the abs.
Breathing
Exhale bringing the legs up, inhale lowering them.
