• Hold the position for a moment.
• Return to the start position and repeat on the opposite side.
• Do 8 to 10 repetitions on each side.
Advanced Execution
• To make it more challenging, stack your feet.
Maintain a quite head by keeping your eyes focused on one spot on the floor through the move.

So let’s make sure you get green checks on these key points:
• Put your arms under your shoulders and balance on your toes.

• Maintain straight arms, directly under your shoulders through the move.
