How to do it

  1. Place an exercise mat and lie down with your arms to your sides and hands flat on the floor.
  2. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor, a few inches away from your buttocks.
  3. Raise one leg in the air and bend the knee at a comfortable angle.
  4. Take a breath and press through the heel of your other foot, engaging your posterior chain to drive your hips in the air.
  5. Extend your hips until they are in line with your knee and shoulders.
  6. Hold the top position for a moment and lower your buttocks to the floor, exhaling on the way down.
  7. Perform as many slow and controlled reps as possible.
  8. Anchor the foot you previously had in the air and raise the opposite one.
