How to perform
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat, heels close to your glutes.
Press through your heels and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.
Squeeze your glutes at the top for a second, then lower under control.
A good starting point before progressing to hip thrusts, and a useful warm up for lower body sessions.
Common mistakes: pushing through the toes rather than the heels, and arching the lower back to gain height.
