Starting Position

• place two solid chairs shoulder width apart
• you can put some weight onto the seat areas (for example heavy books) otherwise this could become unsafe
• stand between the two chairs
• bend the knees a bit and place your hands at the ends of the back rests
• hold your back straight
• brace the arms and bring the feet up by angling your legs

Correct Execution

• bend your arms slowly until the upper arms are parallel to the ground
• your body is in a line from head to knees

• the elbows do not wander outwards
• afterwards, push yourself back up again until the arms are almost pushed through
• repeat the exercise several times
