How to do a seated knee tuck

  1. Sit on the floor with your hands placed slightly behind your hips for support.
  2. Lean your torso back and lift your feet off the floor with your knees bent.
  3. Exhale and pull your knees toward your chest while sitting up slightly.
  4. Extend your legs back out as you lean your torso away, keeping your feet off the floor.
  5. Repeat the tuck and extend motion for the set number of reps.

Form tips

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
  • Avoid using momentum; move in a slow, controlled manner.
  • Maintain a slight lean back without rounding your lower back excessively.
