• support with body with your almost fully stretched arms
• the hands are a bit wider than shoulder width apart
• the fingertips point forwards
• alternatively you can form a fist to preserve your wrists
• the elbows point diagonally backwards

• the knees are together and behind your bottom
• look to the ground

• push your body back up again
