Instructions
1. Start by lying flat on your back on an exercise mat with your legs extended straight out and your arms by your sides. Lift your head off the ground slightly to engage the upper abdominals.
2. Keeping your legs straight, lift them off the floor until they're about a few inches from the ground. This will be your starting position.
3. Inhale and raise your legs together towards the ceiling until they are perpendicular to the floor. As you lift your legs, press down with your palms and lift your hips slightly off the floor in a controlled motion.
4. Hold the position for a brief moment when your hips are lifted at the top.
5. Exhale and slowly lower your hips back down, then lower your legs to the starting position without letting them touch the ground.
6. Keep the movement controlled throughout the exercise and avoid using momentum.
7. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to keep your core engaged and avoid arching your lower back excessively. If you find the exercise too challenging, you can start by lifting your legs and hips while keeping your head down and then progress to lifting your head as you get stronger.
