Position: Supine
Description: Start lying down on your stomach with palms down next to your chest. Keep your legs in contact with the floor throughout the whole movement. Softly push up through the palms as you extend your back upward. (Most of the work should be done by your lower back. Hands are only there for support.) Slowly extend your back by lifting up the chest and squeezing shoulder blades together.
