- Bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, with your feet together and flat on the floor.
- Engage your abdominal muscles by pressing your lower back into the floor to protect your spine.
- Lift your knees off the ground, bringing them toward your chest.
- At the same time, lift your hips off the floor by curling your tailbone up.
- Continue to contract your abdominal muscles as you raise your hips, aiming to lift them off the ground.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, squeezing your abs.
- Slowly lower your knees and hips back to the starting position, keeping them close to your chest.
- Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
