How to do it
- Rest on your forearms with your elbows under your shoulders and step your feet back.
- Lift your body into a straight line from head to heels, feet about hip-width apart.
- Squeeze your glutes, brace your abs and tuck your pelvis slightly.
- Keep breathing steadily and don't let your hips sag or pike up.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
