Instructions

1. Lie flat on your back on a mat or the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.

2. Place your hands by your sides for support.

3. Contract your abdominal muscles to lift your feet off the floor, bringing knees closer to your chest while your back remains on the floor.

4. From this position, kick both legs out straight in front of you without touching the floor.

5. Bring your knees back toward your chest, and then return your feet to the starting position just above the floor (without letting them rest) to complete one repetition.

6. Perform the desired number of reps and sets, ensuring to keep your movements controlled and your core engaged throughout the exercise.

This exercise is beneficial for increasing core strength and stabilizing the spine. It should be executed with control to avoid any strain on the lower back.
