This exercise is like the Tablemaker, but is harder. The Stretcher will also bring you a little bit of soreness the next morning in places you never knew existed.
- Start by sitting up with your legs our in front of you. Your feet should be shoulder width apart.
- In one motion, lift up your hips and try to push them up to the sky. Keeping your legs STRAIGHT, squeeze your butt and push your feet into the ground.

- Come back down to the first position and then repeat.
