01 / Steps

How to do it

  1. Lying on your back, place your hands on the ground beside your hips with your arms extended.

  2. Keep your legs raised and extended towards the sky, there is no need for them to be completely extended.

  3. Now use the strength of your abdominal muscles to lift your hips off the ground, pointing your feet towards the sky, so that only your arms and upper back remain supported on the ground.

  4. Return to the starting position to complete one repetition.

  5. Try to keep your head raised at all times to promote spine flexion.

  6. This exercise allows you to work the muscles of the abdominal area, minimizing the work of the iliopsoas.
