- Raise your hips towards the ceiling while keeping your straight leg elevated. Pause at the top position, then return to the starting position in the opposite direction.
Tips
- Keep your leg under your knee throughout the exercise. Try not to place it too far in front of you.
- Keep your heel firmly pressed to the floor throughout the movement. Most of the power should be in the heel.
