How to perform

  • Sit on the floor with knees bent and lean back slightly, holding an AguaForce weight with both hands at your chest
  • Lift your feet slightly off the floor for a greater challenge, or keep them planted for stability
  • Rotate your torso to bring the weight to one side of your hips, then rotate to the other side
  • Continue alternating sides with control

Tips

  • Keep your chest lifted and back straight rather than rounding
  • Move through your torso, not just your arms
