Description

Lie on your side with your knees bent, feet together, and the upper hand placed in front of you to counterbalance. In this position, lift your knees towards the ceiling while keeping your feet in contact and ensuring that your torso remains still. Position your legs so that your kneecaps are facing the ceiling. Then lower your knees in a controlled manner to return to the starting position, and repeat the exercise.
