Instructions
1. Secure the suspension trainer (such as a TRX) at a proper anchor point above the ground.
2. Lie on your back under the suspension trainer.
3. Place your heels into the handles or foot cradles of the suspension trainer, ensuring they are secure.
4. Position your body so that when your legs are extended, there is slight tension on the suspension trainer, and your legs are straight without any slack in the system.
5. Place your arms flat on the ground beside you for stability.
6. Press your heels into the suspension trainer and lift your hips off the ground, fully engaging your core and glutes.
7. From the starting position with your body in a straight line from shoulders to heels, bend your knees and curl your legs towards you, pulling the heels towards the buttocks. Your hips should remain lifted throughout the movement.
8. Slowly extend the legs back to the straight position, maintaining the lift in your hips.
9. Ensure the motion is controlled, and your hamstrings are engaged throughout the exercise.
Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets.
