• Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.

• Hold a AguaForce Weight in both hands, with your arms extended straight out in front of you.

• Lean back slightly, engaging your core and keeping your back straight.

• Twist your torso to one side, then the other, as if you were twisting a doorknob.
