The cocoon exercise builds serious core strength by working your abs and hip flexors together. It's perfect for getting a flat stomach and stronger midsection.
1. Lie flat on your back with arms extended overhead and legs straight out 2. Engage your core and simultaneously lift your knees toward your chest while bringing your arms forward 3. Squeeze into a tight cocoon position, bringing knees and elbows as close together as possible 4. Hold the cocoon contraction for 1-2 seconds, feeling the burn in your abs 5. Slowly lower back to starting position with control and repeat for desired reps
• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the entire cocoon movement • Focus on slow, controlled movements rather than bouncing into the cocoon position • Breathe out as you crunch up and breathe in as you lower down • Keep your core tight even when returning to the starting position
• Using momentum to swing into the cocoon position instead of controlling the movement with your abs • Letting your lower back arch off the floor, which reduces effectiveness and can cause injury • Moving too fast through the cocoon exercise without focusing on proper muscle engagement
