How to

1. Kneel and place both hands on a bench or the floor ahead.
2. Sink your hips back toward your heels.
3. Drop your chest between your arms.
4. Breathe into the sides of your back and hold.

Form cues

• Keep your arms straight without bending your elbows.
• Let your head hang relaxed between your arms.
• Keep your knees at hip-width for a stable base.

Common mistakes

• Hips stay high instead of sinking back. Sit your hips back further toward your heels.
• Shoulders shrug up toward the ears. Relax your shoulders down away from your ears.
• Lower back arches instead of the chest dropping. Let your chest sink, not your lower back.
