Instructions

Setup

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Place your hands on the floor behind you, shoulder-width apart, with your fingers pointing towards your heels. Lift your glutes off the ground by extending your arms.

Movement

  1. Lowering Phase: Slowly bend your elbows, allowing your body to descend towards the floor while keeping your glutes slightly hovering above the mat. Ensure your elbows track backwards and stay in line with your shoulders rather than flaring out to the sides.

  2. Pressing Phase: Push through the palms of your hands to extend your arms, returning to the starting position.

Form Tips

  • Keep your chest proud and open throughout the movement.

  • Focus on maintaining a tight core to stabilize your torso.

  • Only lower your body as far as comfortable for your shoulder mobility.
