Oblique Jackknives

- Start by lying on your side with one hand behind your head and the other arm on the floor to support you. You will not be in a straight line. Your legs will be slightly angled in front of you.
- While keeping your legs as straight as possible, lift your legs and torso up. We are aiming our elbow toward our knees.
- Control the movement to return back to the starting position.
- The pressure is placd on the glute muscle so that we are not injuring our hips by pushing them into the floor.
-Squeeze your core, specifically your obliques, as we contract to the peak of the movement.
