Adjust the suspension trainer straps to mid-calf height. Lie on your side facing the anchor point and place both feet into the foot cradles, with the top foot slightly forward (heel to toe).
Exhale as you lift the hips and brace the core; breathe rhythmically and shallowly while holding the position.
1-0-1
Lift hips until the spine is neutral and parallel to the floor; avoid sagging or hyperextending upward.
Not recommended; perform on the floor or knees if the suspension version is too difficult.
