How to do it
- Lie on your back on a bench with your legs straight and extending off the end.
- Hold the edges of the bench beside your head or by your sides.
- Tighten your stomach and raise your straight legs until they point at the ceiling.
- Slowly lower your legs until they are almost level with the bench, then repeat.
Beginner tip: Only lower your legs as far as your back stays flat on the bench.
