Lying Windshield Wiper

What it is

Lying on your back with the legs straight up and arms out, you lower the legs to one side and bring them back over to the other. It trains the obliques through rotation. Bend the knees to make it easier.

Technique tips

• Arms out wide, palms down
• Legs straight up over the hips
• Lower to one side with control
• Keep the shoulders on the floor

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
