How to do it

  1. 1

    To begin, lie down on the floor or an exercise mat with your back pressed against the floor. Your arms should be lying across your sides with the palms facing down.

  2. 2

    Your legs should be crossed by wrapping one ankle around the other. Slowly elevate your legs up in the air until your thighs are perpendicular to the floor with a slight bend at the knees. Note: Your knees and toes should be parallel to the floor as opposed to the thighs.

  3. 3

    Move your arms from the floor and cross them so they are resting on your chest. This is the starting position.

  4. 4

    While keeping your lower back pressed against the floor, slowly lift your torso. Remember to exhale while perform this part of the exercise.

  5. 5

    Slowly begin to lower your torso back down to the starting position while inhaling.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
