Side Lying Scissors
Expert Advice
Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum. Engage your core to stabilize your torso and prevent rocking.
How-to-do Steps
- Lie on your side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other.
- Support your head with your lower arm or rest it on a towel.
- Lift both legs slightly off the ground, keeping them straight.
- Move your top leg up while lowering your bottom leg down, like a scissor motion.
- Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
