Instructions
1. Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Place your elbows and forearms on the floor beside your body, ensuring that your elbows are aligned directly under your shoulders.
3. Engage your core and lift your hips and torso off the floor, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
4. Keep your head in a neutral position, with your gaze forward or up towards the ceiling.
5. Your body should be supported only by your forearms and heels, with your toes pointing forward.
6. Hold this position, focusing on maintaining a tight core and keeping your hips elevated to avoid sagging.
7. Aim to hold the reverse plank for a set duration, such as 30 seconds to a minute, depending on your fitness level.
8. Lower your hips back to the floor to rest before repeating the exercise for additional sets, if desired.
Ensure you maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent strain on your lower back and to maximize the engagement of the target muscle groups.
