Step 2: Elongate and straighten your spine at a 45-degree angle from the floor, creating a V shape with your torso and thighs.
Step 3: Reach your arms straight out in front, interlacing your fingers or clapping your hands together.
Step 4: Use your abdominals to twist to the right, then back to the centre, and then to the left.
