How to do it

  1. Lie flat on your back with your legs straight and your arms along your sides, palms down, head and shoulders lifted slightly.
  2. Keeping your legs straight and together, raise them up to about 45 degrees, then lower them back down until your heels hover just above the floor - and raise them again without touching down.
  3. The lower back is the referee: it stays pressed into the floor for the entire rep, and if it starts to arch, your legs have gone lower than you've earned yet.
