Instructions
1. Adjust the gymnastic rings so that they are at an appropriate height for you to lean back with arms extended while holding onto the rings with a neutral grip.
2. Begin by standing and gripping the rings firmly. Your arms should be straight up above your head with your body angled backward and feet shoulder-width apart on the floor. This is your starting position.
3. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
4. With control, lower your body back by hinging at the shoulders until your arms and body form a 'Y' shape. Your body should be leaning back with arms extended and hands above your head in the rings.
5. Use your deltoids and upper back muscles to pull your body up to the starting position, squeezing the shoulder blades together as you raise up.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions, ensuring that you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
7. Rest between sets as needed before repeating the exercise.
