- Position your upper back against the padded area of a leverage machine.
- Place your feet flat on the platform, shoulder-width apart.
- Push through your heels to lift your hips upward until they are in line with your knees and shoulders.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
- Lower your hips back down in a controlled manner.
