Instructions

Setup

  • Lie on your back on a mat with your legs extended and feet together.

  • Place a mini-loop resistance band securely around your feet.

Execution

  • Engage your core to lift both legs slightly off the floor while keeping them bent at the knees at an approximate 90-degree angle.

  • Drive your knees toward your chest by contracting your abdominal muscles, fighting against the resistance of the band.

  • Slowly return your legs back toward the starting position until they are hovering just above the ground.

  • Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement and avoid pulling on your lower back.
