Instructions
1. Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you.
2. Place your palms on the floor behind you, with your fingers pointing away from your body.
3. Press through your palms and heels, lifting your hips off the ground until your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels. This is the reverse plank position.
4. Engage your core muscles to keep your hips lifted and your body stable.
5. Slowly lift one leg off the ground, keeping it as straight as possible, and raise it as high as you are able while maintaining your balance and form.
6. Lower the leg back to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.
7. Alternate lifting each leg for the desired number of repetitions.
8. Make sure to keep your movements controlled and avoid letting your hips sag during the exercise.
Ensure that you perform the exercise with proper form to maximize benefits and prevent injury. If you're new to this exercise, you may want to start with the reverse plank on its own, without the leg lifts, to build up your strength and stability before adding the leg lifts.
