How to do it
- Lie face down on the floor with your arms stretched out in front of you and your legs straight.
- Squeeze your glutes and lift your arms, chest and legs off the floor at the same time.
- Hold the top briefly, then lower everything back to the floor under control.
- Lift smoothly without jerking, and look at the floor so your neck stays in line with your spine.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
