Technique

  1. Lie on your back with your legs straight and your arms along your body, palms on the ground.
  2. Press your lower back into the ground and lift your straight legs until they are vertical.
  3. Lower them slowly until they almost touch the ground, then lift them again.

Form tips

  1. Keep your lower back in contact with the ground the whole time: if it lifts, stop lowering before that point.
  2. Bending the knees slightly makes it easier.
