From the starting position, bring your bent knees towards one side, rotating your hips.
In a smooth, controlled motion, arc your legs up and over to the opposite side, maintaining the bent-knee position.
Return to the starting side, tracing a rainbow-like arc path with your knees.
Keep your upper body stable and minimize torso twisting; the focus should remain on using your core muscles to lift and guide the legs.
