Targets: Lower back, butt, and hamstrings

  • Lie facedown on a bench with legs extended in a wide V behind you, hips just above end of bench, feet flexed, toes on floor.
  • Grip bench with hands, arms extended overhead.
  • Lift both legs up in line with your torso, then bring feet together in midair.
  • Open legs back out to sides, then lower to start.
  • Do 15 reps.

Target tip: Flexing your feet engages the hamstrings even more.
