Primary: transverse abdominis, hip flexors, core

How to do it

Lie on your back with arms extended overhead. Press your lower back into the floor and simultaneously lift your legs and shoulders off the floor, creating a gentle hollow banana shape. Hold for time.

Form Tips

The lower back must stay in contact with the floor — that's the whole exercise. Lower your arms or bend your knees to reduce the lever and make it easier.
