How to do the Lying Froggy Pulse
Lie down on your back with your arms resting by your sides, palms facing down.
Bend your knees and press the soles of your feet together, letting your knees fall open to the sides in a "frog" position.
Engage your core to press your lower back into the floor gently.
With control, use your inner thighs to press your knees up, bringing them together without letting your feet come apart.
Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement and hold the pulse for a second.
Slowly lower your knees back to the starting position, maintaining the tension in your inner thighs and glutes.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Throughout the exercise, ensure movements are controlled to avoid jerky motions. Focus on your breathing and keep the motion smooth for each repetition.
