Knee to chest

STEPS : Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. This is called the supine position. Gently raise one bent knee up enough so you can grasp your lower leg with both hands. Interlace your fingers just under the knee. If you’re doing the two-legged version, bring one leg up and then the other. Because taking both up at the same time takes a lot of abdominal strength, starting with one and then quickly following with the other is likely safer, especially for vulnerable backs. As with the single-legged version, if you are taking both up at the same time, interlace your fingers or clasp your wrists between the lower legs, just below the knees. Gently pull your bent knee or knees toward your trunk, using your hands. While you're pulling, try to relax your legs, pelvis, and low back as much as you can. The knees-to-chest better reaches low back muscles when used passively. Hold for a few seconds. Return your leg to the floor. Repeat on the other side.
