How to do it
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat, holding a weight plate against your chest.
- Exhale and curl your shoulders off the floor, bringing your ribs toward your hips.
- Lower yourself slowly until your shoulder blades touch the floor.
- Keep the plate tight to your chest and don't yank with your arms or neck.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
