How to perform

From a support on the bars, lower the shoulders onto the bars and lift the hips overhead until the body is vertical, resting on the shoulders and hands. Keep the legs together and toes pointed. Hold, then roll back down under control.

Tips

Find the balance point before extending the legs. Squeeze the legs together. Keep the core tight so the back does not arch.
