Secondary Muscles
Equipment
With your palms facing down, place your arms by your side for support and tighten your core to prepare for the movement.
Slowly bend your knees and slide your heels toward your buttocks, lifting your hips off the floor and squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
Hold this position for a second, then slowly slide your heels back out, lowering your hips to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control and a tight core throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Engage Your Core: Before you start the movement, make sure to engage your core. This will help maintain stability throughout the exercise and prevent any strain on your lower back. A common mistake is to neglect the core, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. Smooth Movement: Slowly bend your knees and slide your feet towards your buttocks, keeping your heels on the towel. Your hips should lift off the floor as you pull your heels in. The key here is to ensure a smooth, controlled movement. Avoid jerky or rapid movements, as this can cause injury and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Full Extension: After pulling your heels in, slowly extend your legs back to the starting position.
