🚦 Set Up:
Scoot to the edge of the bench, couch, or bed so your lower legs hang down (at 90 degrees).
Lift both knees and hug them towards your chest.
Release one knee, continue to hug the other.
📓 How To Do It:
While keeping your back flat, draw in your belly button, squeeze your glutes and slowly lower one leg towards the ground.
Maintain 90 degree bend in knee and keep core engaged as you lower and lift back up.
When lifting, think about using your lower abs and hip flexors.
😍 Benefits:
Lower abdominal strength
Hip flexor strength
Core stability
Hip mobility
Improved posture
🫥 Common Mistakes:
Arching your lower back (Instead: keep it pressed down to floor)
Flaring your ribs out (Instead: cave in chest, maintain control with core)
Dropping leg too quickly (Instead: slowly lower leg using hip flexors and lower abs)
