Instructions:

Step 1: Lie down on your back. Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the ground. Keep your hands either behind your head or cross them over your chest. Draw in your belly and tighten your core muscles.

Step 2: While maintaining this position, lift your upper body upwards. Here, your head goes first followed by your shoulder. Pull up until you sit up straight while keeping your feet flat on the ground. Hold the position for 2 seconds and get back on your back. Repeat for a minute.

Important Tip: In case your feet lift up the ground, you can one of the two things, press your feet against the wall or ask someone to lightly put some weight on your toes.

Some people might feel a pull in their neck and that just means that your posture is not correct. Correct your positioning and start again.
