How to do it
- Lie on your back with your knees bent above your hips and your arms flat at your sides.
- Press your lower back into the floor and brace your stomach.
- Curl your hips off the floor to bring your knees toward your chest.
- Lower slowly until your hips touch down without swinging your legs.
Coaching cues
- The movement is a small hip curl, not a leg swing, so keep it slow.
- Keep your neck and shoulders relaxed on the floor.
