How to do it

  1. Lie flat on your back with your legs straight and hands under your hips or by your sides.
  2. Press your lower back into the floor and keep it there.
  3. Raise both legs until they are vertical.
  4. Lower them slowly, stopping the moment your lower back starts to lift.
  5. That stopping point is your range - lower it further as you get stronger, not sooner.
