- Begin hanging with your shoulders up by your ears (elevated) and legs held at the top of a hanging leg lift.
- Be sure your toes are touching the top bar in the V position.
- Now begin to lower your straight legs to your right side, keeping your toes just off the wall.
- Continue to lower down until your feet are level with your hips, twisting through your torso.
- Fight to keep your left hip close the wall as your legs drop down.
- Pause briefly in the bottom, raise your legs back up to center, and switch sides.
