How to do it

  1. Lie on your back on a smooth floor with your knees bent and your heels on sliders or a towel.
  2. Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips until your body is straight from shoulders to knees.
  3. Slide your heels out slowly until your legs are almost straight, keeping your hips off the floor.
  4. Pull your heels back in toward your glutes with your hamstrings, keeping your hips up the whole time.

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