How to do it
- Lie on your back with your legs straight and your arms stretched overhead.
- Exhale and lift your straight legs and your torso at the same time, reaching your hands toward your feet.
- Pause briefly in a V at the top, balanced on your sit bones, then slowly lower your legs and torso back down.
- Keep your abs tight so your lower back doesn't arch as you lower, and bend your knees slightly if you need to.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
