  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
  2. Place your hands behind your head, with your elbows pointing out to the sides.
  3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.
  4. Slowly lift your upper body off the ground, twisting to one side, touching one elbow to the opposite knee.
  5. Exhale as you reach the top of the movement and hold for a second.
  6. Lower your upper body back down to the starting position, inhaling as you do so.
  7. Repeat the movement on the other side, twisting to the opposite side.
