01 / Steps

How to do it

  1. Stand with your arms out to the sides and your legs at least twice as wide as your shoulders.

  2. Contract your abdominals, hamstrings, and glutes simultaneously to achieve a hip rotation backwards, eliminating lumbar curvature.

  3. When you return to the starting position, exaggerate the opposite movement, maximizing your lumbar curvature so you can feel the difference between each position.
