Answers:
This is a commonly used exercise in the army to get stronger (obviously)!. Here are some instructions!. Hope this helps!

Instructions~
This is an exercise done at a slow pace for eight counts!.
1) hold arms paralell to ground with palms facing up
2) pivot slowly at the waist to the right for four counts
3) pivot slowly at the waist to the left for four counts
Note: Exaggerated or excessive bouncing while pivoting can be harmful and you may hurt yourself!. Be careful, please!.

I'm sorry I was unable to find either a video or picture on the internet!. I searched for a long time on YouTube and Google Images failing every time!. The instructions, however, were very easy to find in army workout regimens that they can do on a daily basis along with different variations of situps!. I would be interested to know why you would like to know this!. I'll check back for details soon!.

EDIT:
I just found this website which includes pictures, although they took about 10 minutes to load!. If you don't want to wait that long, fine, but the picture made the instructions make a heck of a lot more sense to me, at least!.

EDIT #2:
Sorry, those instructions are basically the same as the one on the website you gave!. What you do is you do what the instructions tell you, except that while you do the turning, you're basically bouncing up and down using your arms!. The exercise is designed to work various muscles of the arm because of the turning, but actually exercising because you're doing the bouncing thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

6!. Turn and bounce: Hold arms parallel to the ground!. Palms facing up!. The exercise is an eight-count movement at a slow cadence!. Pivot slowly at the waist to the right for four counts and then to the left for four counts!. Add two turn and bounces after every three workouts!. (Editor
