How to do it

Sit up straight on an exercise mat. Touch the soles of your feet together with your feet six to eight inches in front of your hips. Place one hand on the floor beside you and your other hand behind your head. Lift your elbow to the ceiling as you incline your torso to the other side. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then switch sides.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
