  2. Lift your shoulders slightly off the floor with arms extended at your sides
  3. Bend your torso sideways to touch your right heel with your right hand
  4. Pass through the center and touch your left heel with your left hand
  5. Keep alternating without lowering your shoulders

Coaching tip

Keep your shoulder blades slightly off the floor; the obliques only work continuously at that angle.
