How to do it
- Place your elbows on the floor directly under your shoulders, forearms pointing forward.
- Step your feet back and rise onto your toes so your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Brace your abs and squeeze your glutes.
- Hold the position while breathing steadily.
Form tips
- Keep your hips level, neither sagging nor piking up.
- Look at the floor just ahead of your hands to keep your neck long.
- Drop to your knees if you need to hold good form.
