You know, I feel like heels would make this even more awkward than it already is. How do you get any leverage?

You have to do kind of a combination of pushing down with your butt to get upward momentum, then pulling up with your abs. Then you keep it going with the two.

It's hell. And to get up, you grab the edge of the desk and pull. 0/10 Do not recommend.
