Start: Lie on your left side and prop yourself up on your left forearm, bending the elbow to 90 degrees, left hand in front of the elbow. Bend both knees and move your thighs back so that your knees, hips and shoulders form a straight line. Hold a light weight in your right hand and rest it on the floor in front of your ribcage, palms facing the floor. 
 
Technique Tip: Hold your upper body in a lifted position to avoid sinking into your left shoulder.
