Criss Cross / Bicycle
Start by lying on your back with hands behind your head, the head and upper body lifted off the mat, one leg bent in towards the chest and the other leg reaching out away from the body. The back is in imprint or supported neutral until you can keep the back absolutely still as the legs lower.
EXHALE – rotate the torso and reach the rib cage towards the opposite knee while keeping the elbows wide and the abdominals engaged. The lower abdomen stays still and both hips stay on the mat. No rock and roll!
INAHLE – as you switch sides.
Keep the lower abdomen and hips still while rotating the upper body as far as possible in each direction; lower the straight leg so it is on the same level as your eyes.
Do 8-12 sets!!!
