Sit on a flat, non-slip surface, ideally a yoga mat.
Lean your torso back slightly while bracing your core, keep your chest lifted.
Place your hands on the floor behind or beside your hips for stability and balance.
Lift your feet slightly off the ground, extending your legs outward to start.
Execution
Inward Movement: Exhale and draw your knees in toward your chest by engaging your abdominal muscles.
Outward Movement: Inhale and extend your legs back out to the starting position without letting them touch the floor.
Control: Keep your core tight throughout the entire range of motion. Do not allow your lower back to arch.
Tips
To increase intensity, remove your hands from the floor and keep them held out to the sides for better balance challenge.
