How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Lie on a bench and grip its edge securely beside or behind the head.
  2. 02Brace the trunk and raise the hips and legs until the body is nearly straight above the shoulders.
  3. 03Keep the body rigid from shoulders to feet and lower it as one unit, pivoting near the upper back.
  4. 04Stop before the hips sag or the lower back arches, then reverse the motion with the same straight-body tension.
  5. 05Finish the repetition under control and stop when the rigid body line can no longer be maintained.
