How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie on the floor, crossing your right leg across your bent left knee. Clasp your hands behind your head, beginning with your shoulder blades on the ground. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Perform the motion by flexing the spine and rotating your torso to bring the left elbow to the right knee.

  3. 03

    Return to the starting position and repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.

In the app

Elbow to Knee needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
