This in not only a great upper body exercise, but when performed correctly, is a great core exercise that adds advanced shoulder stabilization. This exercise involves your back, triceps, shoulders, and core muscles. To perform this exercise correctly:
1. Starting on your hands and knees
2. Elbows should be shoulder width apart, elbows bent with arms in a 90 degree angle.
3. Curl your toes under and push your body off of the ground
4. Body should be straight during movement
5. Make sure to keep the core muscles, glutes, legs as tight as possible
6. Hold position until you can not hold your weight up off of the ground with your back straight.
Time yourself every time and push yourself to go a little longer each time. This is a move that you can do everyday.
