Overacheiver!

Begin lying on your back. Bend your knees toward your chest and grasp your shins and engage your core muscles, do not allow your low back to arch.

Drop your shoulders away from your ears and with an exhale of your breath, lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the floor and extend your legs. Hold your legs a few inches off the floor and straighten your arms over your head with your palms facing in. Bring your knees back to your chest grasping your legs again.

Important points…keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, do not allow your stomach to “pop”, if you feel pressure or arching in your low back or your stomach pops toward the ceiling, do not lower your legs quite so much.
Continue this with your breath for 10-15 repetitions and have a fantastic day!
