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 knees bent, feet flat and hip width apart, heels about a hand's length from your hips. Rest your arms by your sides.
While you move
- Press through your heels
- Lift until knees, hips, shoulders line up
- Squeeze your glutes at the top
- Lower slowly, one bone at a time
Avoid
- Arching your lower back to lift higher
- Pushing through your toes
- Letting your knees fall apart
Take care if you have trouble with lying on your back (later pregnancy).
