Technique

  1. One person lies face up with their head between the standing partner's feet and grips the partner's ankles.
  2. The lying person raises both legs straight up toward the standing partner's hands.
  3. The standing partner pushes the legs back toward the floor, either straight down or to one side.
  4. The lying person stops the legs before they touch the floor, then brings them straight back up to the partner's hands.

Form tips

  1. Keep the lower back pressed into the floor and the Abs tight. The closer to the floor the legs stop, the harder it gets.
  2. Keep the legs straight and together throughout.
  3. The standing partner pushes with control: start gently and increase the force as the lying person gets stronger.
