A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Lie on your back with your hands placed lightly behind your head.
- Lift your legs off the ground, bending them at the knees.

- Pause and then switch sides, bringing your left elbow to your right knee.
- Continue alternating sides in a controlled motion.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
