01 / Steps
How to do it
On your knees on the ground.
Extend your arms and raise them so that you reach a vertical position.
The ideal would be for your arms to surpass the height of your head, so if you can't, try to achieve it over time.
Avoid arching your back or pushing your chest forward.
For greater difficulty and effectiveness, perform it with pelvic retroversion, so that the lumbar is completely straight.
