2. Inhale. Return to the beginning position by slowly lowering your arms and extending your legs, but without dropping your feet to the floor.
3. Exhale. Slowly raise your legs upwards, keeping them stretched, until they make a 90-degree angle with your hips. At the same time, steadily elevate your head, shoulder blades, and body off the mat by bringing your hands forward and upward towards your feet.
4. Inhale. Return to the beginning position by slowly lowering your arms and legs, but do not lower your feet to the floor. Throughout the activity, you should feel tension in your core. For the given number of repetitions, alternate between bent- and straight-leg jackknifes. One repetition is equal to one jackknife.
