  • Lay flat with your arms at your sides and legs stretched out next to each other, then raise those legs with a hip lift in the same motion at the end
  • Even if you can’t hold them perfectly rigid, keep your legs as straight as possible, and lift them until they are pointing at the ceiling, or as near as you can get. Make sure your toes are pointed
  • Then lower them back down, the return journey should be at the same pace at which you raised your legs
  • Lower them until they’re hovering just above the ground, and then raise them again for one rep
