Hints

Lay on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the ground. Start with hands pointed straight up overhead. As you engage your core, lift your upper body off the ground, reaching your hands to touch your heels.

Common Mistakes

Not engaging the core sufficiently. Relying solely on neck or arm strength to lift.

Breathing

Exhale as you lift and reach for your heels. Inhale as you lower back down.
