How to do it
- Lie on your back with your heels on small towels or sliders on a smooth floor, knees bent.
- Lift your hips into a bridge and keep them there for the whole set.
- Slide your heels away until your legs are almost straight, keeping your hips up.
- Pull your heels back toward your hips by squeezing your hamstrings.
Coaching cues
- If your hips drop as your legs straighten, shorten the range.
- Move slowly, the hamstrings cramp easily on this one when you rush.
