A floor exercise that strengthens your glutes and hamstrings by driving your hips up toward the ceiling.
BeginnerMatLow impactSuggested: 15 reps
How to do it
- Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat and hip-width apart, and arms by your sides.
- Press through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips.
- Rise until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
- Pause for a moment, then lower your hips with control.
Form tips
- Keep your ribs down so the lift comes from your hips, not your lower back.
- Keep your head and shoulders relaxed on the floor.
