Instructions for Proper Form

Setup:

  1. Position: Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, about hip-width apart.
  2. Hand Placement: Place your hands on the floor behind you, slightly wider than your hips, with your fingertips pointing towards your body.
  3. Lift: Press into your hands to lift your hips off the floor.

The Movement:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
