Seated Leg Tucks

This one is like a tidy little bear curl on the floor or bench. You sit tall, lean back slightly, and draw your knees in with control to wake up your abs, hip flexors, and deep core without needing fancy gear.

Instructions

1. Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet down.
2. Lean back slightly and place hands beside your hips.
3. Lift your feet and balance on your sit bones.
4. Pull your knees toward your chest.
5. Extend your legs out without touching the floor.
6. Repeat with slow, controlled movement.
