Tips

Align elbows under shoulders to prevent strain. Engage your core by drawing your belly button towards your spine. Maintain a straight body line; avoid sagging or arching. Breathe consistently. Start with shorter holds and increase duration as strength improves. To increase difficulty, lift one arm or leg.
