Instructions for Proper Form
Setup:
- Position: Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, about hip-width apart.
- Hand Placement: Place your hands on the floor behind you, slightly wider than your hips, with your fingertips pointing towards your body.
- Lift: Press into your hands to lift your hips off the floor.
The Movement:
- Lower: Inhale and bend your elbows to lower your hips towards the floor. Keep your elbows pointing straight back, not flaring out to the sides.
- Press: Exhale and press through your hands to extend your elbows and raise your hips back to the starting position. Squeeze your triceps at the top.
Tips:
- The closer your feet are to your body, the easier the exercise will be.
- To increase the difficulty, straighten your legs out in front of you.
- Keep your back close to your hands as you move up and down.
