Instructions

Starting Position

  1. Lie flat on your back on a exercise mat.

  2. Extend your legs straight up toward the ceiling with your feet together.

  3. Place your arms by your sides on the floor for stability.

Execution

  1. Initiate the movement by drawing your knees in toward your chest, curling your hips slightly off the floor.

  2. Keep your back flat against the floor throughout the movement.

  3. Once your knees are near your chest, controlledly press your feet back up towards the ceiling to return to the starting position.

  4. Focus on using your lower abdominal muscles to curl your pelvis, rather than using momentum to swing your legs.

  5. Keep your controlled pace steady and rhythmic.
