How to do the Lying Reverse Froggy Crunch
1. Lie face down on the floor with your legs extended straight behind you and your arms extended forward.
2. Keep your legs together and your arms straight ahead for the starting position.
3. Engage your core and lift your legs and chest off the floor simultaneously by flexing your lower back and squeezing your glutes.
4. As you lift, bend your knees and widen your legs out to the sides as if emulating a frog kicking motion, while keeping your feet together.
5. Reverse the motion by extending your legs back out and lowering your chest and legs back down to the floor to return to the starting position.

Adjust the number of repetitions and sets as per your fitness level, but ensure to maintain proper form. If you feel any discomfort or pain, especially in your lower back, stop the exercise and assess your form or consult with a fitness professional.
