Lying Double Legs Hammer Curl with Towel
The towel curl from the floor with both legs raised and the towel around them; a neutral grip on its ends pulls the torso up to sitting.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the back, both knees bent and lifted, a towel around the legs, ends held thumbs up.
Steps
- Pull with the arms until the torso sits up to the knees.
- Hold the legs where they are throughout.
- Uncurl the arms and roll back down slowly.
Common mistakes
Throwing the legs down to swing up: the legs stay raised; the arms pull. Neck cranking forward: lead with the chest. Landing hard on the back: lower through the whole spine.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
