- Place your hands on your knees and push your knees outward to open up the hips.
- Twist your torso to one side and bring the opposite elbow to the outside of the knee.
- Hold the position for a few seconds, then switch sides.
Common Mistakes
- Not engaging the core while twisting.
- Twisting too far without proper form leading to strain.

Tips
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the twist.
