No equipment needed — bodyweight only.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your arms by your sides, palms flat on the floor.
  2. Lift your legs so your thighs point straight up, knees bent and feet together.
  3. Tighten your stomach and roll your hips off the floor, bringing your knees toward your chest.
  4. Slowly lower your hips back to the start.

Beginner tip: Roll your hips up slowly instead of swinging your legs.
