Technique

  1. Lying on your back, one foot flat close to the glute, the other leg straight up.
  2. Drive the heel into the floor and lift the hips into a knee to shoulder line, the free leg in line with the trunk.
  3. Squeeze the glute at the top, lower slowly.

Common mistakes

  • Hips rotating toward the free leg.
  • Arching the lower back instead of extending the hip.
