How to do Row Boats

Start laying down, arms over your head, feet slightly off the ground. As you sit up, bring knees to chest and wrap your arms around your shins, resembling a 'boat' position. Return to the starting position.

Common mistakes

Avoid jerking motions. Ensure the movement is controlled, engaging the core throughout.

Breathing

Inhale as you lay down; exhale as you move into the 'boat' position.
