Instructions
- Lie on your back, knees together, legs bent at a 90-degree angle, feet flat on the floor. Place your palms straight on the floor for support.
- Squeeze your abs to lift your hips off the floor, bringing your knees to your chest. Hold at the top for a few seconds, then lower your back, not allowing your lower back to arch and lose contact with the floor.
Tips
- Avoid doing the exercise too fast. Instead, lower your legs slowly and in a controlled manner.
- Don't use momentum to bring your knees up to your chest. All movements are performed by the hips and abs.
- Try not to raise your neck at any time during the exercise.
