Instructions

Setup

  • Lie flat on your back on a mat.

  • Place your hands behind your head, elbows wide, and lift your shoulder blades slightly off the ground to engage your core.

Movement

  • Lift your legs to a tabletop position.

  • Simultaneously extend one leg straight out while maintaining a slight hover above the floor.

  • As you extend one leg, pull the opposite knee toward your chest.

  • Keep your lower back pressed firmly into the mat throughout the entire movement.

  • Switch legs in a continuous, controlled motion, alternating sides without pauses.

Form Tips

  • Keep your core tight and maintain the crunch position throughout the set.

  • Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands; let your abs do the lifting.
