Instructions
Hang the rings at a height above your head and adjust them so that when you lean back, your body can be at a comfortable angle, around 45 degrees or more, to the floor.
Grab the rings with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and walk your feet forward until your body is at the desired angle, straight, and with heels planted firmly on the ground.
Activate your core to stabilize your body.
Begin the movement by retracting your shoulders, pulling your shoulder blades together.
Pull yourself up by driving your elbows down and back, keeping them close to the body, aiming to get the rings to the sides of your chest or as close as is comfortable.
Squeeze your back muscles at the top position for a moment.
Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position, fully extending your arms and controlling the movement.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure that throughout the exercise your body remains straight and you don't let your hips sag or pike upward. Adjust the difficulty by changing the angle of your body relative to the floor: the closer to horizontal you are, the more challenging the exercise.
