Step 1: Start by lying on your back on a flat surface with your knees bent, your feet flat on the floor, and your palms down and touching the floor.
Step 2: Slowly bring your shoulders up, moving as close as you can to your knees. Focus on breathing, expelling air at full contraction, tightening your core, and holding movements for three seconds if possible.
Step 3: Slowly lower back down until you are flat on the floor, then immediately begin rising up into the next repetition.

Try doing three sets, with 10 repetitions per set.

You can intensify this exercise by crossing your arms, which adds more weight to your trunk. Lifting your feet off of the floor with your lower legs in a tabletop position (horizontal to the floor) or holding your arms either over your head or behind your head can also add intensity.
