Step-by-step
- Lie face down on the table with your hip crease at the edge of the table and your legs hanging below.
- Grip the handles firmly to anchor your upper body.
- Squeeze your glutes to raise your legs back until they are in line with your torso.
- Squeeze for 1 second at the top and do not overarch your lower back.
- Lower back to the start under control without swinging your legs.
Coaching tip
Instead of swinging your legs, lift by squeezing your glutes; the power of the movement should come from your hips, not momentum.
Caution
