Instructions
1. Lie flat on your back on a comfortable surface with your legs extended and your arms extended above your head on the floor.
2. Engage your core and lift your upper body off the ground while simultaneously tucking your knees towards your chest.
3. Bring your hands towards your knees, trying to touch them or come as close as possible.
4. Hold the position for a moment, feeling the contraction in your abdominal muscles.
5. Slowly return to the starting position, extending your arms and legs out.
6. Repeat the movement for the recommended number of repetitions and sets.
Remember to perform the exercise with controlled movements, taking care to not strain your neck or use momentum rather than muscle strength. Breathing is also important—exhale as you tuck your knees and crunch, and inhale as you return to the starting position.
