- Lie on your side with the bottom arm in front and top hand at your temple
- Stack your legs on top of each other

- Squeeze your oblique for one second
- Lower under control; finish the reps, then switch sides
Coaching tip
Torso and leg rise together; think of the two ends of your oblique closing toward each other.
