How to Perform

1

Lie down on the floor placing your feet either under something that will not move or by having a partner hold them. Your legs should be bent at the knees.

2

Place your hands behind your head and lock them together by clasping your fingers. This is the starting position.

3

Elevate your upper body so that it creates an imaginary V-shape with your thighs. Breathe out when performing this part of the exercise.

4

Once you feel the contraction for a second, lower your upper body back down to the starting position while inhaling.

5

Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
