How to do it

Hang the straps with the handles about a hand's width off the floor and get into a push-up position with **your feet in the handles**, body straight. From there, **draw your knees to your chest** rolling your hips up, hold a second and extend slowly back into line. The straps move in every direction, so on top of flexing you have to stop your feet drifting sideways. The classic mistake is letting the hips sag as you extend: that is where the lower back takes what the abs can no longer hold.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
