1. Begin by sitting on the edge of a padded stool or bench. Place your hands beside your hips or just behind them for support. Keep your back straight and your chest lifted.
2. Lean back slightly, engaging your core muscles to keep your spine straight and stable throughout the movement.
3. Lift your feet off the floor, keeping your knees bent. This is your starting position.
4. Exhale as you bring your knees towards your chest, contracting your abdominal muscles and slightly leaning back without rounding your spine.
5. Inhale as you slowly lower your feet back towards the floor, returning to the starting position. Ensure that your feet don’t touch the floor to maintain tension in your core muscles.
6. Repeat the knee tucks for the desired number of repetitions and sets, maintaining controlled movements throughout the exercise.
Make sure to warm up before performing this exercise and cool down afterward. Adjust your posture if you feel any discomfort in your back, and focus on using your core to perform the movement.
