  3. 03Curl the rib cage toward the pelvis by flexing the trunk while keeping the hips relatively still.
  4. 04Pause in the shortened position without sitting back or dragging the hands toward the floor.
  5. 05Extend the trunk slowly to the tall-kneeling start while maintaining band tension, then repeat.
