How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie face down on the floor with your arms stretched out in front of you and legs straight behind you.

  2. 2

    Breathe out as you lift your arms, chest, and legs off the floor at the same time — like you're flying.

  3. 3

    Hold for a moment at the top, keeping everything lifted.

  4. 4

    Breathe in as you lower back down to the floor — that's one rep. Repeat.

Where you should feel it: Your lower back, glutes and upper back.

What your coach says mid-set

  • “Arms, chest and legs lift together”
  • “Pause with everything lifted”
  • “Lower down slowly”

Common mistakes
