Bend the knees with feet shoulders width apart. Driving through the heel, drive the hips up and towards the ceiling, squeezing the buttocks at the top for two seconds, then return to the floor. As you drive your hips to the ceiling, exhale. As they return to the floor, inhale. Make sure not to put too much pressure on the neck. Do as many reps as possible. It's hard to overdo this exercise. Keep going as long as comfortable.
