Leg Lift and Twist

Nicki's fitness tip: Leg Lift and Twist

A simple curl can go a long way.

On your back, cradle your head in both hands. Keep your knees together your right leg bent with your foot on the floor and your left foot pointing towards the ceiling.

Pull your right shoulder up and twist it towards the stretched out leg. Your right elbow should rise up with your shoulder whilst the left elbow stays firmly on the floor. But don't use the raised arm to drag your shoulder forward, keep all the tension in the tummy.

Go back to your starting position and do 4-8 reps. Slowly build up to doing of 8–16 reps. Repeat on the other side.

Nicki's Tip: Keep both your hips and buttocks grounded, all the movement should be in your upper body and your tummy.
