How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat and hip-width apart, and arms by your sides.
  2. Press through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips off the floor.
  3. Stop when your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees, without arching your lower back.
  4. Lower your hips back down slowly.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
