Technique
How to perform Cocoons
- Begin by lying on your back on the ground.
- Your legs should be straight and your arms extended behind your head.
- This will be your starting position.
- To perform the movement, tuck the knees toward your chest, rotating your pelvis to lift your glutes from the floor.
- As you do so, flex the spine, bringing your arms back over your head to perform a simultaneous crunch motion.
- After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
