Instructions

1. Lie flat on your back on a comfortable surface, keep your legs straight and your arms by your sides.

2. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.

3. Slowly raise your legs off the ground, keeping them straight until they're at about a 45- to 60-degree angle from the floor. Ensure you do not arch your back and keep your head and shoulders relaxed on the ground.

4. Hold your legs in this raised position, ensuring your core remains engaged and your lower back is pressed against the ground.

5. Maintain the hold for the desired duration, focusing on keeping your breath steady.

6. Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position without letting them touch the floor if you're doing multiple repetitions.

7. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions or sets.

Remember to perform this exercise in a controlled manner and focus on the quality of movement, maintaining tension in the abdominals throughout the exercise. Adjust the duration of the hold to your current ability level, starting with shorter holds and building up gradually.
