Instructions
1. Attach the suspension trainer to a secure point above head height.
2. Grab the handles with a close grip (hands closer than shoulder-width apart) and face away from the anchor point.
3. Lean forward into an inclined position with your body in a straight line from head to heels, maintaining only the balls of your feet on the ground.
4. Start with your arms fully extended in front of you, elbows slightly bent to prevent locking out.
5. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body, until your chest is just above the handles.
6. Push back up through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
7. Perform the desired number of repetitions, maintaining good form and control throughout the exercise.
8. To adjust the difficulty of the exercise, you can step forward (to make it easier) or back (to make it harder), thus changing the angle of your body to the floor.
Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the movement to ensure stabilization and to prevent your hips from sagging. Adjust the strap length if necessary to suit your height and the chosen difficulty level. Remember to breathe out as you press up and breathe in as you lower your body.
