Equipment
Keeping your legs straight or slightly bent, slowly raise them all the way up to the ceiling until your buttocks lift off the floor.
Hold this position for a moment, ensuring your abs are engaged and you're not straining your neck or shoulders.
Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position, keeping your core tight and engaged throughout the movement.
Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your movements smooth and controlled.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Arching Your Back**: A common mistake many people make while performing this exercise is arching their back. This can put undue stress on your lower back and lead to potential injuries. To avoid this, ensure your lower back is in contact with the floor throughout the exercise. If you find your back arching, try to decrease the range of motion or bend your knees slightly. **Controlled Movements**: Ensure you are performing the exercise with slow and controlled movements, rather than using momentum to
