How to do it

  1. Anchor a band low, past your feet (a heavy dumbbell, a table leg or a door anchor), and loop it around your ankles.
  2. Lie face-down on a bench or the floor, far enough away that the band is already a little tight.
  3. Curl your heels toward your glutes, then let your legs straighten slowly against the band.
