Technique

  1. Sit on the mat with your knees bent and feet flat, and plant your palms on the floor beside your hips, fingers pointing forward.
  2. Draw your knees toward your chest and pull your torso close to your thighs into a tight tuck.
  3. Press into the floor with straight arms, depressing your shoulders to lift your hips off the mat.
  4. Keep pressing to float your feet off the floor, holding maximum knee-to-chest compression.
  5. Lower with control and repeat, keeping your shoulders depressed and core engaged.

Form tips

  1. Keep your arms locked straight; the lift comes from pushing the floor away and depressing the shoulders.
  2. If your feet will not leave the floor yet, build the strength with the Feet-support tuck l-sit lift first.
