Description: Rest your knees, feet and elbows on a gym mat. Extend your feet backward and straighten your whole body so that only your toes and your elbows touch the ground. Your feet should be close together and your elbows should be positioned directly under your shoulders. Make sure that your lower back sags or your butt rises. Instead, ensure that your body is straight and rigid. Your core muscles must be contracted during the whole exercise. Hold this position for the desired period of time. Then go back to the starting position to rest. You have completed your first repetition.
