Equipment

No equipment needed — bodyweight only.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat and arms by your sides.
  2. Lift one leg and pull that knee toward your chest.
  3. Push through the heel of the foot on the floor to lift your hips, pause, then lower slowly.
  4. Finish your reps, then repeat on the other side.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Keep both hips level instead of letting one side drop.
