2. Place your left hand on the floor just in front of you for balance.
3. Be sure your body is straight (no piking a your hips).
4. Now lift your torso and legs straight up at the exact same time, arching through the left side of your body.
5. Aim to lift your upper and lower body the same amount.
6. From your best side arch, begin to use your left oblique to smoothly rock forward, toward your right shoulder and backward, toward your right hip.
