How to do it

1. Hands and feet on the floor, hips lifted high, so your body makes an upside down V.
2. Press the floor away and lift your hips.
3. Bend your knees as much as you like. A long back matters more than straight legs.

Move within a range that feels comfortable and stop if something feels wrong. Movemint plays this with a 3D guide, a spoken countdown and a rest timer, free and offline.
