Standing Top Backhand Tap & Prayer Push

Standing Top Backhand Tap and Backhand Prayer Push

Positioning:

1. Starting Position: Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed on both feet.
2. Arm Position: Raise your arms above your head, palms pressed together in a prayer position (like a 'Namaste' pose). Your elbows should be slightly bent.
3. Shoulder Position: Relax your shoulders away from your ears to avoid tension.

Movement:

1. Backhand Tap:
- Begin by lowering your arms down in front of your chest while keeping the palms pressed together.
- Bring your hands towards your chest, bending your elbows and keeping your palms together. This is your backhand tap.

2. Return to Prayer Position:
- From the backhand tap position, lift your arms again straight up above your head, returning to the prayer position.

3. Repeat Movement:
- Continue the movement by alternating between the backhand tap and the prayer position.
- Aim for a smooth and controlled motion, focusing on engaging your core and maintaining good posture throughout.

Key Points:

- Breathe steadily during the exercise.
- Keep your core engaged to stabilize your body.
- Focus on a fluid transition between the two positions.

Repetitions:

- Aim for 10-15 repetitions, resting as necessary.
