How to do it

  1. 1Set the straps to about mid-length, face away from the anchor and hold the handles with straight arms in front of you at shoulder height.
  2. 2Lean your weight into the handles with your body in one straight line from head to heels; the further you lean, the harder it gets.
  3. 3Keeping your upper arms still, bend your elbows and let your body lower until your hands are beside your forehead.
  4. 4Brace your stomach and glutes so your hips do not sag on the way down.
  5. 5Straighten your elbows to press your body back up to the start.
