  2. Position your hands shoulder-width apart (a little wide).
  3. Bend your elbows and lower body toward the ground.
  4. Make sure your elbows are at a 45-degree angle to your body.

Start with 3 sets of 5 each and increase the limit accordingly. If this is something you are an expert at, you already know the drill.

  2. Sit against it as if it's a chair with your legs at 90 degrees.
  3. Stand still in the position and hold. Back straight, stay in that position for three minutes.
