Instructions
1. Start by lying face down on a flat surface, with your legs extended straight behind you and your arms bent with palms down near your shoulders.
2. Engage your core muscles and glutes to stabilize your lower body.
3. Press through your hands to lift your upper body off the ground. Extend your arms while lifting your chest, keeping your hips in contact with the floor. Your back will arch naturally, but be sure not to strain it.
4. Hold the extended position briefly, focusing on the stretch through the front of your body and the contraction in your lower back muscles, then slowly lower back down to the starting position.
5. Perform the movement for the desired number of repetitions or hold the extended position for a specific amount of time.
Ensure that the movement is controlled and do not overextend your back. The difficulty can be adjusted by increasing the repetition number or time held in the extended position. Always maintain a focus on form to prevent injury.
