Compression Tuck Extension

Setup

Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Place a yoga block on either side of your hips, slightly behind your thighs.

Movement

1. Place your hands firmly onto the yoga blocks, keeping your palms flat and fingers pointing forward.

2. Engage your core, particularly your lower abdominals, and pull your knees toward your chest into a tight tuck position.

3. Exhale deeply to compress your core further as you actively try to lift your hips slightly off the floor using your arm and shoulder strength.

4. Simultaneously extend your legs out to a straight position while maintain an upright torso.

5. Control the movement as you return to the starting tucked position, keeping your legs hovering above the floor throughout the repetition.
