How to do it
Begin in a squat with your knees together, balancing on the balls of your feet. Twist your torso to the side, taking your right arm to the outside of your left thigh. Work your arm down your thigh to deepen the twist. Place your palms flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart, so your fingers point away from you.
