Description

Adjust the bench to a 45° incline. Position your hips so that they are in the air and lock one leg under the pad. Place the other leg on top. Stand up straight, aligning your hips and trunk. Avoid hyperextending your back by rotating the pelvis backward (retroversion). Contract your glutes and abs, then hold the position for the indicated time.
