1. Start by setting the bar of the Smith machine at a height that is around the same as your thighs.
2. Stand facing the machine and position yourself under the bar.
3. Reach up and grasp the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
4. Step back slightly, allowing your body to hang under the bar. Your arms should be fully extended and your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
5. Bend your knees slightly and brace your core. This is your starting position.
6. Begin the exercise by lifting your hips towards the ceiling, while keeping your legs straight.
7. Continue lifting your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your feet.
8. Hold this position for a moment, then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
9. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your abs engaged throughout the exercise and avoid using your arms to pull yourself up. The movement should come from your hips and abs.
