How to perform Leg Pull-In
- Sit on the floor with your hands beside your hips and lean your torso back with control.
- Extend your legs forward so your feet hover above the floor, keeping enough bend in your knees to control the position.
- Draw your knees toward your chest while curling your torso forward toward them.
- Keep your hands beside your hips for support rather than pulling your body forward with your arms.
- Extend your legs back out as you recline under control, keeping your feet hovering and avoiding a sudden drop through your lower back.
- Repeat the coordinated knee tuck and torso curl without swinging or requiring your shins to stay parallel to the floor throughout.
