Technique

  1. Elbows directly under the shoulders, forearms parallel.
  2. Squeeze the glutes and tuck the pelvis slightly: the lower back does not sag.
  3. Press the forearms into the floor and spread the shoulder blades.
  4. Look at the floor between your hands, neck in line with the back.

Common mistakes

  • Hips piked up or sagging: the line has to be straight.
  • Holding your breath.
