Exercise Steps
Step 1: Position yourself on the ground so that your hands are underneath you forming a diamond shape with your index fingers and thumbs.
Step 2: Look slightly ahead of you and lower your body, maintaining a straight line.
Step 3: Push yourself back up to the starting position and repeat.
