Instructions
1. Lie face down on the floor with your legs straight and your hands lightly supporting your head or crossed in front of you for stability.
2. Keeping your legs straight squeeze your glutes, engage your core, and slowly lift your upper body off the floor as high as comfortably possible.
3. Focus on using your lower back muscles to lift your torso and maintain a neutral neck alignment by looking down at the floor.
4. Hold the raised position briefly, then slowly lower back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps and sets, maintaining a controlled movement throughout the exercise.
Ensure that you perform the exercise with proper form to avoid any stress on the neck and to maximize the engagement of the lower back muscles. If you experience any pain during the exercise, stop immediately and consult a fitness professional or healthcare provider.
