How to perform

Sit in the Captain’s Chair, back firmly against the pad, forearms on arm pads, gripping handles. Ensure stability, relax shoulders, and hang legs straight. Engage your core, pulling your navel towards your spine. Slowly lift legs together until parallel to the ground. Pause briefly, contracting abs. Lower legs in a controlled manner. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain slow, controlled movements. Keep your back pressed against the pad. Exhale on leg lift, inhale on lowering. Start with bent knees if needed, progressing to straight legs. Avoid swinging or momentum. Keep shoulders relaxed.
