Instructions
1. Start in a high plank position with your hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and your feet at hip-width.
2. Lift your hips up towards the ceiling so your body forms an upside-down "V" shape. Keep your feet flat on the ground and your head in line with your arms.
3. Keep your core engaged and your back flat as you bend your elbows and lower your head towards the ground between your hands.
4. Lower yourself until your head is just above the floor, ensuring your elbows do not flare out to the sides.
5. Push through your hands, extending your elbows to lift your head and upper body back to the starting pike position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Be sure to maintain good form throughout the exercise to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury. If the exercise is too difficult, you can modify it by performing it with your knees on the ground until you build up the necessary strength.
