Instructions

1. Begin in a plank position with your hands firmly placed on the ground, shoulder-width apart.

2. Place a towel or sliders under your toes. This will help reduce friction and allow your feet to slide easily over the floor.

3. Keep your back straight and core muscles engaged throughout the entire exercise to maintain proper form.

4. Slowly slide your feet towards your hands while keeping your legs straight, raising your hips up towards the ceiling into a pike position.

5. Pause briefly in the pike position, ensuring your core is fully engaged and you feel the contraction.

6. Gradually slide your feet back to the starting plank position.

7. Maintain the strength and stability of your core, shoulders, and legs to avoid any sagging or piking of the hips during the movement.

8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Note: It is essential to move in a controlled manner to maximize muscle engagement and minimize the risk of injury.

Ensure that the room has enough space and the floor surface is appropriate for this exercise to prevent any unexpected sliding of the hands or towel.
