Lying Windshield Wipers
Starting Posture
Lie on your back with your legs extended straight up towards the ceiling.
How to Exercise
Slowly lower both legs to one side as far as you can while keeping your shoulders on the floor. Bring your legs back up to the starting position and lower to the other side. This completes one rep. Repeat for a total of 10 reps on each side.
Breath Control
Exhale as you lower your legs to the side and inhale as you bring them back up to the starting position.
Common errors
Avoid letting your legs drop too low, as this can strain your back. Also, make sure to keep your shoulders on the floor throughout the entire movement.
