How to do it
Lie face down on the floor with your arms extended straight out in front of you and your legs extended straight behind you.
Simultaneously lift your arms and chest off the floor as high as you comfortably can, engaging your lower back and glutes.
While holding the lifted position, bend your elbows and pull your arms back towards your shoulders, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Extend your arms back out in front of you and slowly lower your chest back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Form tips
Breathe steadily: exhale as you lift and pull your elbows down, and inhale as you extend your arms and lower your body.
Gradually increase the duration of the hold and the number of repetitions as your strength improves.
Keep your neck in a neutral position to avoid straining it.
