  • 3Maintain this position and thrust one knee towards your chest without moving the other.
  • 4Switch and repeat with the other knee.
  • 5Continue to alternate in a controlled manner.

Tips:

  • Keep your lower back pressed into the ground during the exercise.
  • Try to keep the movement controlled and slow to better engage the abdominals.
  • For more intensity, perform the movement without letting the feet touch the ground in between each thrust.
  • Remember to breathe in as you thrust the knee towards the chest, and breathe out as you lower it back down.
