1 of 3

Lie on your back, legs straight

  1. Starting position

    Lie on your back with your legs straight and together, arms by your sides and palms on the floor.

  2. The movement

    Raise your straight legs toward the ceiling, then lower them near the floor without arching your back.

Most common mistake

Don't arch your back as your legs lower, press your lower back down and reverse the movement sooner.
