Instructions:
- 1Begin in a seated position on the floor with your hands placed slightly behind you
- 2Lift your legs off the floor and lean back slightly, keeping your core tight
- 3Simultaneously, pull your knees towards your chest and wrap your arms around your legs
- 4Hold for a moment in this 'crunched' position
- 5Extend your legs outward and spread your arms wide as if in mid-flight, then revert to the starting position
Tips:
- Ensure to exhale when crunching in and inhale when extending out
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise
- Avoid using your arms to bring your legs towards yourself, instead rely on your abs
- Maintain a controlled movement rather than rushing through the exercise
