Equipment

No equipment needed — bodyweight only.

How to do it

  1. Lie face down on a mat with your arms stretched out in front and legs straight behind.
  2. Lift your arms, chest and legs a little off the floor at the same time.
  3. Hold for a couple of seconds, then slowly lower back down.

Beginner tip: Look at the floor to keep your neck relaxed; a small lift is enough.
