How to perform

Start on your hands and feet with your heels against the wall. Walk your feet up the wall while moving your hands backward. Move closer to the wall over time as your strength and comfort improve. Bring your legs together, straighten your body, and hold for time. Save enough energy to safely walk forward or drop your legs to the side.

Tips

Keep your hands shoulder-width apart to stack your arms vertically under your shoulders Maintain completely straight arms with your elbows locked throughout the hold Open your shoulder angle to align your arms perfectly with your torso Flatten your lower back by pulling your belly button toward your spine to engage your core
