Choose the loop that lets you finish every rep with good form and makes the last reps feel challenging. Never sacrifice form for resistance.

Before you begin: Use a sturdy, non-rolling chair and desk, a mat or carpet for floor moves, and keep a clear space around you. Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or numbness. If you are pregnant, recovering from injury, or have a health condition, check with your healthcare provider before starting a new exercise routine.

Pelvic floor and lower back: move only in a pain-free range. If you have back pain that travels down a leg, numbness, pelvic pain, leaking, or heaviness, or are pregnant or postpartum, see your healthcare provider or a pelvic floor physical therapist for a personal plan. Never practice by stopping your urine flow.
