1. Lie down in prone position on your chest with hands under shoulders.
2. Reach feet back as far as possible and press the tops of all ten toes into the ground. Keep the toes on the ground throughout the entire exercise.
3. Squeeze thigh muscles and press the hips and abdominal muscles into the ground.
4. Without pressing hands into the ground, use the lower body to lift your chest off the ground.
