Description

Lie on your back with your knees and hips bent at 90 degrees, off the ground. Press your lower back against the floor by engaging your core. While maintaining this position and contracting your abs, extend one leg as low as possible toward the floor and then return to the starting position. Then repeat the exercise on the other side. The closer your feet go to the floor, the more challenging the exercise will be. Make sure not to arch your back during the movement.
