-Bring your arms along side of your body.  On a count of 4, slowly let your feet come back down to the floor.  The moment you feel your back arch, slowly bring your knees back up into your chest, maintaining a flat back and contracting your abs in.

-As the exercise gets easier, try keeping one leg straight while doing the movement.
