Scissors (Beginner)

The easiest scissors: lying on the back, arms on the floor, the straight legs held high at about 60° and scissored in small steps.

How to do it

Setup

On your back, arms by the sides, straight legs raised to about 60°.

Steps

  1. Move one leg a little up as the other moves down.
  2. Switch in small, even steps.
  3. Keep the lower back pressed to the floor.

Common mistakes

Letting the legs sink toward the floor: the high angle is what keeps it easy. Bending the knees: keep the legs straight. Lower back lifting: raise the legs higher.

Breathing

Steady throughout; never held.
