Execution
How to do it
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
Place your hands behind your head, keeping your elbows wide.
Engage your core and lift your upper body towards your knees, coming up about three-quarters of the way.
Slowly lower your upper body back to the starting position and repeat.
Form tips
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to avoid straining your lower back.
Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands; use your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body.
Breathe steadily, exhaling as you lift and inhaling as you lower.
