How to do it
Exhale as you drive your hips up and brace your abs lightly.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet placed wider than hip-width apart.

Drive through your heels to lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from knees to shoulders.
- 3
Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
- 4
Lower your hips back down to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
