Hip Ups with Twist

Lie flat on your back and shoot your feet and hips straight into the air like a traditional hip-up, adding an intentional twist of the hips at the peak before bringing legs down in front to repeat on the opposite side.

Key points

  • Drive the hips straight vertically into the air onto the upper back and shoulders
  • Twist the pelvis sharply at the top of the elevation to engage rotational abdominal muscles
  • Lower the legs with control out in front without letting the lower back slam into the mat

Common mistakes

Shooting the legs backward over the head like a plow stretch instead of lifting hips vertically toward the ceiling.
