"Okay, so we started with just the bent knee, one isolate at a time. We incorporated lifting the right knee, then the left knee, holding for a second. Lowering the right; lowering the left. Lets add both legs, up, holding it and from there we're only going to tilt our pelvis. Again, right leg up, left leg up. Lock. From here, we're going to curl. One, two, three. No swinging. Two, suck in. Squeeze, three. Two, three. Suck in, four. Curling it. Stay up. Suck in. Curling, five. Tight. Suck in, six. Tighten it. Stay up. Stay up, and seven. And release. It's an advanced movement, so be careful. Stay within your comfort zone, work into it slowly. Work one leg at a time, at one, two tandem, then bring them both together. Stay within your comfort zone."
