Lying Half Butterfly Raise

Positioning:
1. Lie on your back on a flat, comfortable surface such as a yoga mat.
2. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
3. Bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to the sides in a butterfly position.
4. Place your arms at your sides or cross them over your chest for balance.

Movement:
1. Engage your core muscles and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
2. Slowly lift your hips off the ground by pressing through your feet and engaging your glutes. Aim to lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
3. Hold the lifted position for a moment while squeezing the glutes.
4. Lower your hips back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 10-15 reps.

Tips:
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears.
- Avoid arching your lower back; focus on using your glutes and hamstrings to lift.
- If you feel any discomfort in your lower back, reduce the range of motion or take a brief rest.
