Instructions

1. Start on all fours with your hands placed directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keep your back flat, as if balancing a tray on your back.

2. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine and ensuring your back doesn't arch.

3. Lift your knees slightly off the ground (about an inch). Your weight should be evenly distributed between your hands and toes.

4. Keep your head in a neutral position, looking down at the ground between your hands.

5. Hold this position for the desired time, keeping your hips level and core engaged throughout.

6. To release, gently lower your knees back to the starting position.

7. Rest briefly and repeat for the desired number of sets.

Remember to breathe regularly throughout the exercise and maintain a strong, braced core to protect your lower back.
