Instructions

Setup

Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet flat, about hip-width apart. Place your hands on the floor behind you, with fingertips pointing toward your heels.

Execution

  1. Press through your heels and palms to lift your hips toward the ceiling.

  2. Squeeze your glutes at the top as you form a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.

  3. Keep your chest open and shoulders retracted.

  4. Slowly lower your hips back down toward the floor without fully resting your weight, then repeat the movement consistently for the duration of the set.

Key Tips

  • Maintain a neutral neck position by looking straight ahead or slightly upward.

  • Do not overextend the lower back; focus the movement on driving with the glutes.
