How to do it
- Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair and grip the seat beside your hips, fingers forward.
- Walk your feet out, knees bent at about 90 degrees, and slide your hips off the seat.
- Bend your elbows straight back to lower your hips toward the floor.
- Stop when your upper arms are about parallel to the floor, then press back up.
Form tips
- Keep your back close to the chair and your shoulders down away from your ears.
- Use a chair that cannot tip or slide, ideally braced against a wall.
- Straighten your legs further out to make it harder.
