How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Lie face up holding a dowel above the chest with straight elbows and place the hips and knees at about 90 degrees.
- 02Press the lower back gently into the floor, draw the ribs down, and keep the legs together.
- 03Lower the straight arms overhead and extend both legs away at the same time without letting either touch the floor.
- 04Stop immediately before the lower back lifts or the ribs flare; the usable range is the position you can hold.
- 05Return the dowel and legs to the start under control, reset the body line, and repeat.
