Instructions

1. Start by sitting on a padded stool or bench with your legs extended straight in front of you, hands placed on the stool beside your hips for support.

2. Sit up tall, engaging your core and maintaining a straight back.

3. As you inhale, open your knees out sideways, pressing your legs down slightly while keeping your feet together. This is the "open" part of the exercise.

4. Exhale as you pull your knees towards your chest in a controlled motion, performing a knee tuck.

5. Inhale and straighten your legs back out to the starting position, keeping them lifted slightly above the stool.

6. Repeat the movements for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring smooth and consistent motion throughout the exercise.

Remember to breathe steadily throughout your exercise and maintain control, avoiding any jerky movements. Make sure the movements are driven by your core muscles, as this will maximize the benefits of the exercise.
