Method:
Lying on your back. Place one foot on a box. Flatten the spine and engage your core muscles, and slowly curl the bottom up from the floor and hold the position.
Hold the contraction in the core and buttock muscles and working into the hamstring muscles also.
The neck and shoulders should be relaxed and resting on the floor. Slowly release the spine, uncurling one vertebrae at a time until back is resting on the mat.
