Action: Nod your chin to your chest and roll up to the tips of your shoulder blades. Engage your abdominals and try to keep a neutral pelvis as you pulse your arms down toward the floor.
Inhale for 5 counts and Exhale for 5 counts. 10x
Bend your knees into to your chest and rest.
Variation: For more of a challenge lower your legs down towards the floor at a 45 degree angle.
