Lie on the floor with both heels on a chair or low bench and the knees bent near 90 degrees, then drive through the heels to lift the hips as high as they will go without arching the back.
Muscles worked
Primary: glutes · Also works: hamstrings
Equipment
No equipment
Common mistakes
- Using a surface so high that the hamstrings cramp before the glutes ever work
- Letting the ribs flare and the lower back arch to fake extra height
- Bouncing the hips off the floor between reps instead of pausing and re-driving
Variations
- Single-leg version
- Two-second squeeze at the top of each rep
