Instructions
1. Position a flat bench and ensure it is stable.
2. Lie face down on the bench, with your hips on the edge so your legs can move freely.
3. Grasp the sides of the bench with your hands for stability.
4. Start with your legs hanging straight down toward the floor.
5. Engage your lower back and glutes to lift your legs up behind you until they are in line with your torso.
6. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement for a full contraction.
7. Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position without letting them touch the floor if possible.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Note: Keep the movement controlled throughout to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury. If you're new to the exercise or have lower back issues, proceed with caution and possibly consult a fitness professional before starting.
