  2. 2Fasten the belt or pad across the crease of your hips, not your stomach, and hold the handles.
  3. 3Brace your stomach, tuck your chin and push through your heels to drive your hips up until they line up with your knees and shoulders.
  4. 4Squeeze your glutes hard at the top with your shins roughly vertical, without arching your lower back.
  5. 5Lower your hips under control until the weight nearly touches down, then repeat.
