How to do the Froggy Wiggle
Setup
Lie flat on your back on a mat.
Bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees fall outward into a butterfly position.
Place your fingertips gently behind your head, elbows wide. Avoid pulling on your neck.
Movement
Engage your core to lift your head, neck, and shoulder blades off the floor.
As you crunch upward, keep your lower back pressed into the mat.
Focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift your chest toward the ceiling—do not use momentum.
Slowly lower your upper torso back to the starting position without fully relaxing your core muscles.
Maintain the butterfly leg position throughout the entire set.
