Tips

Engage your core and lift your hips upward before each reach. Control your rotation, counting two seconds for the reach and two seconds for the return. Reach your hand far enough to face the floor, gradually extending your range of motion. Position your elbow directly beneath your shoulder for a stable base. Exhale during the reach, inhale as you return to the starting position.
