How to do it

  1. Stand tall with your fingers by your ears and your elbows out wide.
  2. Lift one knee up and out to the side while bending your torso sideways toward it, bringing your same-side elbow down to meet the knee - then return to standing tall and repeat on the other side.
  3. The whole movement lives in your side: knee travels up and out, elbow dips down, and your obliques squeeze the two together like closing a hinge.
