How to do it
Set the rings to a medium height.
Assume a supinated grip with your hands close to your hips and face down.
Extend your upper body to reach a 45-degree angle with the floor, arms fully extended.
From this position, perform an elbow flexion to return to the starting position.
Adjust the height of the rings to change the difficulty, the lower the rings, the harder the exercise.
