Reps

How to

1. Lie on your back with legs straight up, arms by your sides.
2. Circle both legs together to one side, down, and around.
3. Keep your shoulders anchored and core braced.
4. Reverse the circle direction on the next rep.

Form cues

• Press your lower back flat into the mat.
• Exhale as your legs sweep past the bottom.
• Move slowly and control the circle, not momentum.

Common mistakes

• The lower back arches off the mat. Press your low back down through the whole circle.
• Momentum swings the legs through the circle. Slow the circle down and control it with your core.
• Shoulders lift off the mat during the circle. Press your shoulder blades down into the mat.
