- Lie on your back with your knees bent in toward your chest, shoulder distance apart.
- Heels are together with the toes a few inches apart.
- Wrap the middle of the exercise band accross the balls of your feet.
- With your head down on the mat, adjust your grip on the band so your chest and shoulders stay wide as you place your hands near your knees. The band should be taught, but not stretched.
- Now, nod your head down, scoop your abs, and curl your upper body up off the mat.
Modify this exercise by leaving the head down
Tip: Take a moment to feel the energetic connection between your heels and your sit bones before you start moving.
Although your upper body is in forward flexion, the pelvis stays neutral, and the tailbone must stay down throughout. Do not tuck the pelvis, or let the band pull on the legs to the point that the tailbone starts to roll up off the floor.
