#5 Knee-Ins
Instructions:
Step 1: Sit on the floor (or on the edge of a chair) with your legs extended in front of you and your hands holding on to the sides for support.
Step 2: Keeping your knees together, pull your knees in towards your chest as you exhale until you can go no further.
Return to the start position as you inhale. Repeat as recommended.
Important Tip: Avoid fast motions and maintain full control of the movement.
#6 Sit-Up
Instructions:
Step 1: Lie down with legs bent at the knees.
Step 2: Place your hands behind your head and lock them together by clasping your fingers. Secure your legs under some heavy furniture.
Step 3: Lift your upper body so that it creates a V-shape with your thighs. Breathe out when performing this part of the exercise.
Important Tip: Once you feel the contraction for a second, lower your upper body back down to the starting position while inhaling. Repeat as recommended. Avoid the temptation to rock back and forth.
