Substitute for stiff leg windmills

Hi GST

I have lower back issues and my doctor recommended I stop doing exercises that involve bending forward and twisting at the same time until my issues subside. I am currently doing the foundations training (core strength exercises) and was wondering if there is a substitute exercise for the stiff leg windmills?

Many thanks in advance!

Hey MIchael you cannot bend and twist, can you still bend only?

Yes, although I just need to be really careful when bending to keep my lower back straight and not curved and bend from the hips
