Great exercise… how many do you recommend?  Should you build up to about 10 per session?

At this point I’m up to about 20 and I don’t think it’s really necessary to go much more than that.

While you are lifting the legs, is the lower back pushed into the floor, or is there still a curve in the back?

What are your thoughts?
