How to do it
5 stepsLie on your back on a flat bench with your hips at the edge and your legs hanging off the end. Slide your hands under your glutes for support.
Extend your legs long, keeping a slight bend in your knees. This is your start position.
Exhale and lift both legs together until they point nearly straight up toward the ceiling, squeezing your abs.
Hold the top for a second.
Inhale and lower your legs slowly back to the start without letting them drop. Repeat for the planned reps.
If your lower back arches off the bench as the legs lower, shorten the range or bend your knees more.
Do it on a mat for a simpler setup. To make it harder, hold a dumbbell between your feet.
