Description

Sit on the floor with one foot flat on the ground and the other leg extended in front of you. Press your elbow against the inside of your knee, making sure the knee is slightly lower than the shoulder. Keep your gaze straight ahead and perform a downward rotation of the arm without moving the elbow or the knee. Then, bring the weight back to the starting position while keeping the elbow bent at 90° and the shoulder stable. Throughout the exercise, try to keep your shoulder blades down.
