Hip Twist Supported Arms
Leaning back on straight arms with the legs together and lifted, the legs draw a circle down to one side, round and up the other, the chest staying steady.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, leaning back on straight arms, hands behind the hips, legs together and lifted in a V.
Steps
- Swing the legs together down to one side.
- Carry them round low and up the other side to the V.
- Circle the other way, keeping the chest lifted.
Common mistakes
Shoulders sinking toward the ears: press the floor away with the hands. Circle too big for the lower back: keep it small enough that the back stays still. Legs splitting apart: keep them pressed together.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
