Technique
Setup
Lie flat on your back with arms extended overhead and legs straight.
Movement
Lift your shoulders and legs off the floor. Press your lower back firmly into the ground. Your body should look like a shallow 'U' or banana shape.
Form Tip
If your lower back comes off the floor, lift your legs higher or tuck your knees to regress the movement. The lower back contact is non-negotiable.
