    How to: Lying Floor 6 Inch Hold

    1. Lie flat on your back on the floor with your arms at your sides.
    2. Raise your legs so they are 6 inches off the floor.
    3. Engage your core and hold this position for the recommended time.
    4. Keep your back flat against the floor and avoid arching.

    Common Mistakes

    • Arching the back instead of keeping it flat.
    • Holding the position with insufficient tension in the core.
    • Not breathing properly during the hold.

    Modifications

    • Bend your knees to reduce tension if necessary.
    • Perform the exercise with feet elevated on a bench for reduced intensity.

    Tips

    • Keep your lower back pressed against the ground to prevent strain.
    • Engage your core throughout the hold to maintain stability.
    • Start with shorter holds and gradually increase the time as you get stronger.
