  • you can put some weight onto the seat areas (for example heavy books) otherwise this could become unsafe
  • stand between the two chairs
  • bend the knees a bit and place your hands at the ends of the back rests

Correct Execution

  • bend your arms slowly until the upper arms are parallel to the ground
  • your body is in a line from head to knees

  • repeat the exercise several times
