Scissors (Advanced)
Seated and leaning back on straight arms, the straight legs held low off the floor scissor up and down past each other.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, leaning back on straight arms, hands behind the hips, straight legs raised off the floor.
Steps
- Raise one leg as the other lowers.
- Switch in a steady rhythm, the heels never touching down.
- Keep the chest lifted and the arms straight.
Common mistakes
Sinking between the shoulders: press the floor away and lift the chest. Knees bending: keep the legs long. Leaning further back as you tire: hold the same angle.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
