The feet are perpendicular to the floor, the legs are also straightened and rest on the floor with their thumbs (or just toes). Raise your head so that the line of the back of the head is a continuation of the line of the back and legs, and your face is parallel to the floor. Actually, this is the whole exercise. The task is to keep the body parallel to the floor (without sagging or raising the pelvis) from 15 to 20 seconds. Try doing 3 sets to get started.
