1 of 3
Dumbbell secure across your hips
Starting position
Rest your upper back on a bench, plant both feet on the floor, and hold a dumbbell securely across your hips.
The movement
Drive through both feet, lift your hips until your body is straight from shoulders to knees, then lower slowly.
Most common mistake
Don't overarch your back at the top, stop when your hips are in line with your body and keep your ribs down.
