1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Lie on the floor, crossing your right leg across your bent left knee. Clasp your hands behind your head, beginning with your shoulder blades on the ground. This will be your starting position.
Perform the motion by flexing the spine and rotating your torso to bring the left elbow to the right knee.
Return to the starting position and repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Technique guidance
Exhale as you pull through the working range and inhale during the controlled return. Keep the breath steady and avoid straining with a prolonged breath hold.
General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same exercise variation, range of motion and recording method when comparing Elbow to Knee sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
