How to do it

Setup

On your back under the anchor, heels in the foot cradles, arms flat on the floor at your sides.

Steps

  1. Lift the hips until the body is one straight line.
  2. Pull the heels toward the glutes, keeping the hips up.
  3. Push the feet back out under control.
  4. Lower the hips only once the set is over.

Common mistakes

Hips dropping as the knees bend: the curl turns into a stretch; hold them up for the whole set. Yanking the heels in: pull slowly enough that the straps stay quiet. Snapping the legs straight again, which is where the hamstring cramps.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale extending.
