Make sure your toes are well grounded into the floor to provide stability to the lower half of your body like this.
While in this position, tighten your abs, stomach muscles and flatten your back so your entire body is neutral and straight.
- Slowly lower your body to the ground
While lowering yourself slowly onto the floor, you must keep your back straight and your eyes staring at something in front of you.
Let your chest graze the floor slightly, do not collapse, put all your body weight on the floor or spread your arms on the floor, your butt shouldn’t dip or stick out at any point during the move. It is important that your body remains in a straight line from neck to toe.
