  • Lie on your back on a mat, knees bent, feet flat on the floor.
  • Place your feet hip-width apart, arms are at your side. Gently contract your abdominal muscles to flatten your lower back into the mat. Attempt to maintain this gentle muscle contraction throughout the exercise.
  • Gently exhale. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged and lift your hips up off the floor.
  • Press your heels into the flour for added stability. Avoid pushing your hips up too high, which can cause hyper-extension (arching) in your lower back. Keeping your abdominal muscles strong will help prevent excessive arching in the lower back.
  • Inhale and slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
  • Repeat for the minute.

Enjoy your workout this week!
