Instructions

Adjust the suspension straps so the handles hang about mid-calf height and grip the handles firmly.
Step your feet back into a high plank position with your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Inhale as you bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the handles in a controlled movement.
Keep your core tight and your hips level throughout the entire descent.
Exhale as you press through your palms to return to the starting plank position.
