Instructions:
- 1Lay down on the bench with your upper body supported and legs hanging off the edge
- 2Contract your glutes and raise your legs until they make a straight line with your body
- 3Hold for a moment then slowly lower to the starting position
- 4Avoid bending your knees during the movement. Keep them slightly bent but stable
- 5Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions
Tips:
- Focus on squeezing the glutes at the top of the move
- It's not about how high you lift your legs, but the quality of the squeeze you get in your muscles
- Don't swing your legs or use momentum to lift them. Keep the motion controlled
- Always maintain a neutral spine to avoid back injuries
