Place your hands behind your head, with your elbows pointing out to the sides.
Lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the ground, and engage your core muscles.
At the same time, lift your feet off the ground and bring your knees towards your chest.
As you bring your knees towards your chest, extend your arms forward and try to touch your elbows to your knees.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your head, shoulders, and feet back down to the starting position.
