Description

Lie on the floor with one leg bent at a 90° angle at the knee and the other leg relaxed on the floor. Place your hands under your lower back for support, with your elbows resting on the floor. Slightly lift your elbows, as well as your head and shoulder blades off the floor. Focus on rotating your thoracic spine, visualizing your head and neck as a fixed block integrated with your thoracic spine, avoiding any cervical movement, whether it is forward or backward movement of the chin. Aim to activate the rectus abdominis and oblique muscles without causing any movement of the spine.
