  • 4Hold the top position for a moment
  • 5Lower your hips back down to the ground slowly in a controlled motion

Tips:

  • Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement. This forces your hips to rise higher and buffers the spinal column, preventing lower back pain
  • Maintain your head and neck in a neutral position
  • Make sure your arms are flat against the ground to maintain balance
  • Don't let your knees move inwards as you lift
