How to do it

On your back with your lower back pressed down, knees and arms up. Extend **opposite arm and leg** at the same time, slowly, without your lower back lifting a millimetre, then return. It is the best exercise for learning to keep the trunk stable while the limbs move, which is what your abs are actually for. You feel the deep abdominals. Slowly: rushing ruins it.
