Lie down on your back with arms at 90 degrees out from your shoulders, palms and arms pushed actively into the ground to stabilize your shoulders and spine.
Straighten your knees and flex your feet. As much as possible, maintain a 90-degree angle at the hip throughout the movement.
In a slow and controlled motion, lower your feet and legs to one side. Pull your belly button to your spine. Your spine will lift slightly off the ground as you turn, but try to press it into the ground as long as possible.
Engage your abs to lift your legs back to the starting position.
Repeat, lowering to the other side. This completes one rep.
