Instructions

1. Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Extend your arms straight in front of you, placing your palms against the wall at shoulder height and shoulder-width apart.

3. Lean your body forward into the wall until your elbows are bent and your body is at a slight angle to the wall.

4. Engage your core muscles and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, making sure not to let your hips sag or pike up.

5. Hold this position for a fixed amount of time, aiming to maintain proper form without any movement.

6. For beginners, start with shorter intervals such as 20-30 seconds, and gradually increase the duration as you build strength and endurance.

7. Release the position by gently pushing yourself back to the starting position.

8. Rest and repeat for the desired number of sets.

Remember to breathe steadily throughout the hold and keep your entire body engaged. Adjust your distance from the wall to increase or decrease the difficulty. The closer you are to the wall, the easier the exercise will be, and the further away you are, the more challenging it will become.
