Instructions

Setup

  • Lie flat on your back on a mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

  • Place your arms by your sides or lightly hold the back of your head for support, ensuring you don't pull on your neck.

Movement

  • Engage your core muscles to lift your hips off the floor, bringing your knees toward your chest.

  • Focus on using your lower abdominal muscles to perform the motion rather than momentum; imagine trying to curl your pelvis toward your ribcage.

  • At the top of the movement, your lower back should be slightly lifted off the mat.

  • Slowly lower your hips and feet back down to the starting position with control, maintaining constant tension in your core throughout.
