"Get ready for the Corkscrew. Lie back on the back again, arms nice and long, knees into chest, fingertips long, lengthen up the legs. And advanced version, you're going to really drop towards the floor but we don't want to do that today. We're going to do a modified version. Round up, stop at the top. You're going to circle your legs both in one direction, then alternating in opposite direction. The main thing with this is both hips stay down on the ground, anchor down and stabilized.
