Cocoons

Expert Advice

Coordinate your movements smoothly to engage both the abs and hip flexors effectively, and avoid using momentum to complete the movement.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your back with your legs straight and arms extended behind your head.
  2. Simultaneously lift your arms and legs towards each other while tucking your knees into your chest.
  3. Wrap your arms around your knees briefly as if you are cocooning yourself.
  4. Slowly extend back to the starting position without letting your feet or hands touch the ground.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
