Bottoms-Up
From lying with the legs long and low, draw the knees to the chest and curl the hips off the floor, then stretch the legs back out.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, arms along the sides with the palms down, legs straight and just off the floor.
Steps
- Draw the knees in to the chest.
- Curl the hips up off the floor at the top.
- Stretch the legs back out long without touching down.
Common mistakes
Swinging the knees to lift the hips: curl the pelvis with the abs. Feet resting on the floor between reps: they hover the whole set. Head lifting to help: keep it down and the neck long.
Breathing
Exhale on the tuck, inhale extending.
