How to do it

1. Get down on all fours with your knees underneath your hips and shoulders, elbows, and wrists in a straight vertical line. Have your hands at a shoulder-width distance or slightly wider.
2. Engage your abs and extend your knees to support your lower body on your toes. Your feet should be slightly wider than hip-width apart.
3. Once in position, squeeze your glutes and bring your shoulder blades back. Your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles should be in a straight line.
4. With your body tense and in position, lift one hand off the floor and bring it back behind your back.
5. Take a breath and lower yourself by bending your supporting arm. Go down as much as you can––ideally, until your chest is a couple of inches from the floor.
6. Extend your arm to get back to the starting position and exhale.
7. Once finished on one side, support your body on your other hand, and perform the same number of repetitions.
