- Lie on your stomach, legs extended behind you and place your hands directly below your shoulders.
- Contract your glutes and press up through your hands and the tops of your feet to lift your torso and legs off the floor.
- Hold this suspended seal for a moment before bending your elbows and lowering your torso to hover just off of the floor.
- Push up again to start your second rep, allowing only your hands and feet to touch the floor during the entire set.
- Maintain contracted glutes to help protect your lower back and promote more extension through your middle and upper spine.
- Repeat for reps.
