2. Start with your feet wider than shoulder width and your toes slightly pointed outwards.
3. Grab the handle with both hands just above your shoulder.
4. Rotate your body downwards towards your opposite knee.
5. Make sure that you keep your arms straight and rotate through the mid section.
6. Slowly lower weight back to starting position.
