Lying Floor 6-Inch Hold
Lying on the back, hold both straight legs just off the floor, heels a hand's width up, while the lower back stays pressed down.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, legs straight and together, hands under the hips or by the sides.
Steps
- Press the lower back into the floor.
- Lift the heels a hand's width off the floor and hold.
- Lower the legs when the back starts to lift.
Common mistakes
Lower back arching off the floor: raise the legs a little higher or end the hold. Knees bending as it burns: legs long, toes pointed. Holding the breath: short steady breaths.
Breathing
Short steady breaths; never held.
