Extend your legs behind you, keeping them straight and together, with your toes pointed.
Slowly lift your upper body and legs off the ground as much as you comfortably can, using your back muscles, while keeping your arms extended in front of you.
Hold this position for a few seconds, ensuring to breathe normally.
Gently lower your body back to the starting position, making sure to maintain control and not let your body drop suddenly. Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements:** As you lift your upper and lower body off the floor, ensure that your movements are slow and controlled. Avoid jerky or swift movements which can strain your back and neck. Your focus should be on using your back, gluteal, and hamstring muscles to initiate the lift, not your neck or shoulders. **Avoid Overextending:** A common mistake is to overextend or arch the back excessively during the exercise. This can put undue pressure on the spine and may lead to injury. Instead, aim for a moderate lift where you feel your back and gluteal muscles working, but without causing any discomfort or pain. **Breathe Proper
