Draw your knees tightly into your chest from a dead hang, focusing on wrapping your pelvis forward and locking in your abdominal wall prior to the lift.

Guide your body back down to a resting position with a slow, deliberate cadence, keeping your muscles activated until your feet touch down to safeguard your joints.
