Correct Execution

• look upwards
• make sure that the motion comes from the arms, not from the abs
• your bottom sticks to the ground
• you can move until the whole torso is supported only by your arms
• the angle between upper arms and the ground has to remain as small as possible
• hold the position shortly, come back to the starting position and repeat the exercise
