Twist and Shout

  • Start sitting on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor in front of you. Hold your hands in front of your chest, then lean your torso back slightly to engage your core. Lift your feet off the floor and balance. (To modify, you can leave your heels on the floor.)
  • Keeping your hips and legs still, rotate your torso to the right, reaching your hands toward the floor.
  • Return to center, then simultaneously extend your arms up in a "V" shape and extend your legs so that your torso and legs form a "V" shape, too.
  • Lower your arms and legs. That's one rep.
  • Do 10 to 15 reps, alternating sides.
