Setup instructions

1) Start on all fours - knees below your hips and hands below your shoulders. Keep the back flat and head neutral.

Perform instructions

1) Push your tailbone back and slightly bring your hands forward.

2) Reach your left arm through the gap between your right arm and thigh - this will cause a slight twist in your trunk. Lower yourself until your left arm is fully flat on the floor. You'll feel this in your upper back.

3) Hold until the end of the timer.
