Instructions
1. Lie face down on the floor with your legs straight and your arms extended overhead.
2. Place a resistance band around both ankles and hold the other end with both hands, keeping slight tension on the band.
3. Engage your core, glutes, and back muscles.
4. Lift your upper body and legs off the ground, extending through the spine and bringing the band toward you as you go up. Your body should form a gentle curve, not a harsh angle, with your chest, arms, and legs lifted from the floor.
5. Hold at the top position for a moment, focusing on squeezing your glutes and back muscles.
6. Lower your body back to the floor slowly and with control.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Ensure you perform the exercise with controlled movements, avoiding any jerky motions or overextending your back, to prevent injury. Adjust the resistance of the band to your fitness level, and increase tension as you get stronger to maintain the effectiveness of the exercise.
