Description

Steps:
• Begin by lying on your back with your hands by your sides, your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
• Engage your abdominal muscles and glutes, raise your hips off the floor by extending your hips upward while pushing down through your heels to create a straight line from your knees to shoulders.
• Squeeze your core and glutes right at the top.
• Hold the pose and release back to the start position.

Useful Tips:
• Keep your shoulders on the floor to protect your neck.
• Make sure you are driving straight up and that your knees aren’t caving in.
• Do not hyper-extend your back as you reach the top of the movement.
• Imagine there’s a vertical string pulling your belly button straight up.

You should feel your:
• Glutes, hip flexors, hamstrings, quads and abs.
