Instructions
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Place your hands on the floor behind you, fingers pointing towards your heels.
3. Bend one knee and bring the foot closer to your body, leaving the other leg extended.
4. Straighten your arms to lift your hips off the floor.
5. Carefully bend your elbows to lower your body towards the ground, only going as low as you can control without straining your shoulders.
6. Press through the palms of your hands to straighten your arms and lift your body back to the starting position.
7. Complete the desired number of repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.
For increased intensity, you can perform the exercise with the non-working leg raised off the ground. Always keep good form, avoiding locking the elbows at the top of the movement and ensuring that the shoulders do not slump.
