How to do it

  1. Lie face down with your arms stretched out in front of you and your legs extended behind you.
  2. Lift your arms, chest and legs off the floor all at once, reaching long through your fingertips and toes as if flying - and hold.
  3. The entire back of your body works to keep you airborne: your lower back holds the arch, your glutes keep the legs up, and your shoulders carry the reach.
  4. Aim for length, not height; a long, low hold beats a short, cramped one.
