  • To begin, lie down on an exercise mat with your back pressed against the floor. Elevate your legs up in the air until they are almost perpendicular to the floor with a slight bend at the knees. 

​

  • Extend your arms so that they are at a 45-degree angle from the floor. This is the starting position.

​

  • While keeping your lower back pressed against the floor, slowly lift your torso and use your hands to try and touch your toes. Remember to exhale while performing this part of the exercise.

​

  • Slowly begin to lower your torso and arms back down to the starting position while inhaling.

​

  • Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

TIPS

  • Focus on slow, controlled movement - don't cheat yourself by using momentum.

  • Remember to keep your arms straight out pointing towards your toes throughout the entire motion.
