You'll need
Steps
Lie on your back with your knees bent at 90° and feet lifted off the floor. Place the weighted wrist bands securely around your wrists (if you have a second pair you place them around your ankles). Extend your arms straight toward the ceiling.
Engage your core and gently press your lower back into the mat. Keep your head and shoulders relaxed on the floor.
Slowly extend your right arm overhead while straightening your left leg toward the floor. Keep your movements controlled and your lower back pressed into the mat.
Bring your arm and leg back to the starting position, then extend your left arm and right leg. Continue alternating sides for the planned number of repetitions.
Form cue: Move slowly, keep your back down, and extend opposite arm and leg.
Stop if you feel pain. This is general guidance, not medical advice.
