What to think about
- Squeeze glutes and abs: straight line ear to ankle.
- Breathe steadily.
- Hips don't sag or pike.
How to do it
- Get into a prone position on the floor, supporting your weight on your toes and your forearms. Your arms are bent and directly below the shoulder.
- Keep your body straight at all times, and hold this position as long as possible. To increase difficulty, an arm or leg can be raised.
