Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the floor in a prone position with the hands planted at around shoulder-width. Place your feet on a raised platform such that the body forms an acute angle with the floor. The elbows should be bent, and the torso should only be centimetres away from the ground.

Step 2: Raise the upper body until the arms are fully extended and perpendicular to the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Use a weighted vest while performing this exercise for added resistance and improved customisability.
