How to do it
- Lie on your back with your hands flat beside you and lift your bent knees over your hips.
- Exhale and curl your hips off the floor, drawing your knees toward your chest.
- Lower your hips slowly until your tailbone touches the floor again, keeping your knees bent.
- Lift with your abs, not by swinging your legs or pushing hard into the floor with your hands.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
