One foot down, other leg raised

  1. Starting position

    Rest your upper back on a bench, plant one foot on the floor and keep your other leg raised.

  2. The movement

    Lower your hips, then drive up through the planted leg until your shoulder, hip and knee form a straight line.

Most common mistake

Don't let your pelvis twist, keep your hips level and press through your whole foot.
