Twist torso to right as far as comfortably possible, keeping head and neck in line, hips facing forward. Then twist all the way to the left. Continue, alternating, for 30 seconds.

Body should form a straight line from chest to knees. Return to start. Perform a full set. Firms: chest, arms, abs, butt.
