How to do a criss cross

  1. Lie on your back with hands behind your head and knees bent in a tabletop position.
  2. Curl your head, neck, and shoulders off the mat, engaging your core.
  3. Extend your right leg while rotating your torso to bring your right elbow toward your left knee.
  4. Switch sides, extending the left leg and twisting your left elbow toward your right knee.
  5. Continue alternating in a smooth, controlled pedalling motion.

Form tips

  • Rotate from your waist, not just your elbows.
  • Keep your lower back pressed into the mat.
  • Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands.
  • Maintain steady breathing throughout.
