How to do it
- Lie on your back with your arms pointing at the ceiling and your legs raised, knees bent at about a right angle.
- Breathe out and press your lower back gently into the floor.
- Slowly straighten one leg until it hovers just above the floor, keeping your back down.
- Bring it back to the start and switch, working each side.
Do all reps on one side, then switch.
Beginner tip: Move slowly and keep your lower back flat on the floor.
