Description

Lie on your back with your arms by your sides. Lift your legs and hips off the floor, reaching your toes toward the ceiling. Support your lower back with your hands if necessary, or keep your arms flat on the floor for a greater challenge. Aim to form a straight vertical line from your shoulders to your toes, engaging your core and glutes to maintain stability and avoid collapse in the hips.
