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

  1. Lie on your side with your legs extended and stacked on top of each other.
  2. Support your head with your lower arm or rest it on a towel.
  3. Lift both legs slightly off the ground, keeping them straight.
  4. Move your top leg up while lowering your bottom leg down, like a scissor motion.
  5. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
