A great exercise that holds within it great potential for strength but also great potential for strain when not performed correctly. The key element of the exercise is to make sure that it is the pelvis and spine that move the legs around and not the other way round!! If the weight of the swinging legs “pulls” on the pelvis and lower back it will create strain, but as long as you use your trunk muscles to move the weight of the pelvis and legs around and as long as you feel it in the Abs and not in your back, you are doing well. If in doubt- make the movement smaller and perfect your technique before going too wild…

But isn't a rotation of the legs: If you think like this, you are going to use the tights muscles for doing the motion, not the obliques, as should be. It's better to think the corkscrew ad a pelvic rotation,better. Because it's what it is, actually.
