How to do it

  1. Lie down on your back with your hips and knees bent to 90 degrees and your arms extended overhead.

  2. Raise your upper back and bring your arms forward to touch your heels.

  3. Hold for a while, return to the initial position, and repeat.

Form tips

  • Keep your neck relaxed and avoid straining it by using your core muscles to lift your shoulders.

  • Ensure your lower back stays pressed into the mat to engage your core effectively and protect your spine.

  • Perform the exercise with controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement and reduce the risk of injury.
