Instructions
- Stand up, feet shoulder-width apart. Bend over and place your hands on the floor directly in front of your feet.
- Transfer the weight to your hands and start walking with them. Tighten your core, squeeze your buttocks, and keep your back straight as you walk.
- Exit until your hands are under your head. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to toes. Return to the starting position in the opposite direction.
Tips
- Don't let your hips drop or rise high as you walk.
- Be sure to keep your elbows strong as you go out. Don't let them bend.
- While standing, make sure you push your hips back and feel your hamstrings tighten as you reach the floor.
