  1. Lie face down on the mat. Keep your heels and toes together and your legs rest on finger tips. Hands are placed along the torso. Chin rests on the mat. This is your starting position.
  2. Raise your upper body as high as possible, without lifting lower abdomen from the floor. When doing so, tighten your triceps and feel the tension in them.
  3. Slowly return to the starting position.

Precautions: This exercise requires not only physical strength but also some flexibility. It is efficient to combine this exercise with stretching.
