Technique

1. Lie on your back with the heels in the foot cradles and the legs straight, lifting the hips into a bridge.
2. Bend the knees and pull the heels toward the glutes while keeping the hips high.
3. Straighten the legs slowly and repeat; lower the hips after the set.

Cues

• Keep the hips lifted throughout.
• Press the hands lightly into the floor for balance.

Common mistakes

• Letting the hips drop as the knees bend.
• Moving too fast so the straps swing.
