HOW: Begin by sitting on a chair, couch, or bench. Tuck the hands behind you or cross the arms across the body. Keeping the ribs down toward the pelvis, bring the chest towards the knees. Take a breath in as the chest comes towards the knees. As you breathe out, screw the feet outwards and into the ground, feeling the hips turn on. Exhale as you return to the starting position. FEEL: You will feel your core and hips working. COMPENSATION: Avoid arching the back or flaring the ribs. Avoid slumping forward during descent and ascent. Exercise Library
