Movement:

Lie in a supine position (on your back), with your knees bent and feet flat. Raise one leg off the floor (not too low) and gently lift your hips till your body forms a straight line from shoulder to knee.

Contract the glutes and hamstrings as you pause for a few seconds. Drop down slowly and repeat.

For people with lower back problems, careful to keep the elevated leg too low. If there’s still a slight arch in the lowerback you can lift your head slightly to push the lowerback into floor for more support.

Movement:

Lie on your back (supine position), knees bent and feet flat on floor. Gently lift your hips off the floor till the body forms a straight line from shoulders to the knees.

Contract the glutes as you stabilise and pause, support with the heels and contract the glutes to make the exercise more effective. Don’t rush it, slow and controlled movement with focus on the movement as you lift up and as you slowly drop down.
