"Hi. I'm going to demonstrate how to do knees in and out. Now bring yourself all the way down to the floor, grab onto your shins, think about extension through the arms and legs and come back in and tuck. The other option is if you need support in your neck area keep your fingertips spread wide, elbows out in peripheral vision, nose to knees, reach through with the toes, draw the knees back in. Inhale as you lengthen, exhale as you contract. If you want to make this into a tuck move grab onto your shins, inhale lengthen, exhale contract. It's a nice strong motion into the middle of your stomach. Try not to let your shoulder blades drop onto the floor. So we're going to avoid dropping and coming up. Stabilize from your shoulders and your hips, lengthen and tuck. I want you to try to do between six and eight repetitions. Take a break in between sets and do another two to three sets, and that's how we do our knees in and out or also called a tuck."
