Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Lie on your back with legs straight and arms reaching up toward the ceiling.

  2. 02

    Keeping your knees locked out but not hyperextended, lift both legs until they’re vertical (soles facing the ceiling). Press your low back gently into the floor.

  3. 03

    Exhale and curl your head, shoulders, and upper back up as you reach your hands toward your toes—think “ribs down,” not yanking with the neck.

  4. 04

    Pause briefly at the top when your abs are fully braced, then inhale and slowly lower your upper back back to the floor with control.

  5. 05

    Keep your legs steady and straight throughout, and repeat for the prescribed reps.
