Instructions
1. Begin by lying on your back on a comfortable surface, like a yoga mat. Place your hands palms down under your hips for support.
2. Bring your knees up and out to the sides, similar to a frog's legs, with your heels pressed together and toes pointed outward.
3. Engage your core and lift your shoulder blades off the ground slightly, looking straight ahead.
4. While keeping your back and arms in a stable position, employ your abdominal muscles to lift your hips and legs upward. Focus on bringing your heels upward towards the ceiling rather than merely moving your knees closer to your torso.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the motion, squeezing your abdominals.
6. Slowly lower your hips back to the starting position without letting your feet touch the ground.
7. Repeat the movement for several repetitions, aiming for a controlled motion to engage the core muscles throughout the exercise.
Remember to breathe consistently throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift your hips and inhaling as you lower them back down. Adjust the number of sets and repetitions according to your fitness level and goals.
