McGill Curl-Up
- 1 - Lie on your back with one knee bent and the opposite leg straight, keeping your spine in a neutral position.
- 2 - Place your hands palms-down under your lower back to help maintain its natural curve without flattening it into the floor.
- 3 - Brace your core gently as if preparing for a light impact, while keeping your neck relaxed and chin slightly tucked.
- 4 - Lift your head, shoulders, and upper back slightly off the floor as one unit, avoiding excessive spinal rounding or crunching.
- 5 - Hold the raised position briefly while breathing normally and maintaining abdominal tension.
- 6 - Lower back down under control without losing your neutral spine position.
- 7 - Complete the desired repetitions, then switch leg positions and repeat evenly on the other side.
