Lying Windshield Wiper
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Bodyweight
HOW TO PERFORM
- Lie on your back with the arms out to the sides, palms down, and the legs straight up over the hips.
- Brace the abs and keep both shoulders pinned to the floor.
- Lower the legs together to one side until they are just above the floor.
- Pull them back up through the middle and lower them to the other side. One pass to each side is one rep.
FORM TIPS
- The shoulders set the range. Stop the legs where the opposite shoulder would start to lift.
- Bend the knees to 90 degrees to shorten the lever while you build up to straight legs.
