Cocoons
Equipment
Begin the exercise by raising both your arms and legs off the floor simultaneously, while keeping your lower back firmly planted.
As your legs and arms rise, bend your knees and pull them into your chest while also bringing your arms around to hug your knees, resembling a 'cocoon' shape.
Hold this position for a moment, making sure to engage your core muscles.
Slowly extend your arms and legs back to the starting position, keeping them slightly off the ground to maintain tension in your core, and repeat the motion for the desired number of reps.
Pro Tip
Warm Up: Before starting any exercise, it's important to warm up your body to prevent injuries. A light cardio exercise for 5-10 minutes should suffice. Proper Form: Lay flat on your back on a fitness mat with your arms extended above your head and your legs straight out. Simultaneously lift your legs and torso up, reaching your hands towards your feet, then lower yourself back down. Avoid
