Recommendations: 1-3 Sets, 10-15 Reps
Lay flat on the floor or an exercise mat. Your arms are placed diagonally by your sides with your palms on the floor. This is the starting position. Using your glutes and abs, lift your hips off the floor as high as you can. Do not lift your shoulders from the floor nor your heels from the floor. Exhale during this movement. Pause briefly while tightening your glutes. Lower your midsection in a controlled manner to a point just above the floor. Do not allow your glutes to touch the floor. Inhale during this movement. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
