Main: Abdominal muscles
One step at a time.
- Lie on your back with arms reaching up and hips and knees bent.
- Slowly reach one arm overhead and extend the opposite leg, keeping both above the floor.
- Return to the starting position, then change sides.
The abdominal muscles work to keep the trunk steady as the limbs move.
