How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor hip-width apart, and your arms resting at your sides.
  2. Press through your heels and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees, squeeze your glutes at the top - and stay there.
  3. The hold looks restful and isn't: your glutes and hamstrings are working the entire time to keep your hips from sinking, and the longer you stay up, the louder they get about it.
