How to do it

1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
2. Place a barbell across your hips, holding it steady with both hands.
3. Engage your core and glutes, then lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
4. Hold the top position for a moment, squeezing your glutes tightly.
5. Lower your hips back to the ground in a controlled manner.
