How to do it
Pause for one second at the top before lowering your hips under control.
- 1
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, close to your glutes.
- 2
Lift your toes off the ground so that only your heels are in contact with the floor.
- 3
Drive through your heels to lift your hips towards the ceiling, forming a straight line from your knees to shoulders.
- 4
Lower your hips back down to just above the floor and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement for maximum activation.
