Sets: 3

Reps: 10

• Sit on the mat with your palms on the mat behind you.

• Lean back and extend your legs out together in front. Inhale and expand the ribcage.

• Exhale and draw in your core. Lift through the core and bring your thighs in for a knee tuck. Use your arms to assist you as needed.

• Inhale as you lower back down and extend the legs out. This is still hard work so inhale and lengthen with control.

• Your arms are there to help you with each phase. Eventually build to doing this without upper body assist.

Modifications:

• Decrease the range of motion by bending the knees or not leaning back as far.

• Use more upper body assist as needed.
