How to do it

Setup

Feet in the straps, hands under the shoulders, plank line set.

Steps

  1. Lift the hips toward the ceiling with the legs straight.
  2. Let the shoulders travel back over the hands.
  3. Lower back to the plank without sagging.

Common mistakes

Bending the knees: that is the jackknife, another exercise. Hips never rising past the shoulders: shorten the range and build up. Head hanging down: keep the neck in line with the spine.

Breathing

Exhale lifting the hips, inhale on the way down.
