It goes into the workout in progress at the Bench, as a new group in its main set.
Set up
Lie on your back with your hands under the top of your hips, press your lower back down and lift both straight legs a few inches off the mat.
While you move
- Small, quick kicks
- Low back stays down
- Legs higher if your back lifts

- Letting your lower back arch
- Making big, swinging kicks

Take care if you have trouble with lying on your back (later pregnancy) or your lower back.
