How to perform it

  1. 01 Set up on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
  2. 02 Brace your core so your back is flat, and keep your neck long with your eyes on the floor.
  3. 03 Extend one arm straight forward and the opposite leg straight back at the same time.
  4. 04 Reach both to full length so they form a straight line with your torso, no higher than shoulder and hip height.
  5. 05 Keep your hips level and square — do not let one side tip toward the floor.
  6. 06 Return under control and repeat on the other side.
