How to do it
- Set the pad so it sits just above your heels, then lie face down with your knees just past the edge of the bench.
- Hold the handles in front of you with your legs straight.
- Bend your knees to curl the pad toward your backside as far as you can, keeping your hips on the bench.
- Slowly lower your legs back to the start.
Beginner tip: Keep your hips pressed down into the bench the whole time.
