Common mistakes

  • Dropping the hip all the way onto the floor and resting, which breaks the tension
  • Letting the body roll forward or backward as the hip travels instead of moving in one flat plane
  • Bouncing quickly rather than taking two seconds down and one up

Variations

  • Perform from the knees
  • Hold the top position two seconds each rep
  • Hold a light dumbbell on the top hip
