Starting Position
- lay your front on the bench
- slide forward until you are able to bend your hip
- your partner holds your legs on the cushion to make sure you cannot tilt over to the front
- your upper body is now parallel to the ground and protrudes the bench
- hold the hands in front of the chest (easier) or at the temples (harder)
Correct Execution
- bend the hip and lower the upper body as much as possible without the head touching the floor
- keep the back upright and the head in extension to the spine
- stretch the hip and come back to the starting position
- your body is in a line again
- hold this position for a moment
- do not over-extend the back and do not go into a hollow-back
- do not gain momentum and repeat several times
