What It Works
All layers of the abs, particularly obliques and transverse abdominals.
To Do It
(A) Stand holding on to the back of a sturdy chair with your right hand. Point your left foot to the side and reach your left arm overhead. Stretch to the right, gently leaning your torso over the chair. Slowly come back to center, bringing your shoulders over your hips.
(B) Then bend your left elbow down and lift your left knee up so they meet at the side of your waist. Hold for a breath, then lower your leg, and lean right over the chair again. Do 10 reps and switch sides.
