Windmills

Technique

How to perform Windmills

1. Lie on your back with your arms out to the sides and both legs straight.
2. Lift one straight leg toward vertical, keeping the other leg on the floor.
3. Let the raised leg travel across your body toward the opposite hand as the pelvis rotates.
4. Move only through the range you can control; touching the floor or hand is not required.
5. Reverse the motion to bring the leg upright, then lower it and repeat on the other side.
