- Begin with your legs bent at 90 degrees, keeping your hands by your sides for support.
- Engage your core and curl your knees towards your chest, lifting your hips off the ground slightly.
- Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement against the band's resistance.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
