As you kneel on the floor, place your hands directly below your shoulders, slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Straighten your arms so that your body is in a straight line from the back of the knees to your head. You may cross one ankle with another or keep your ankles close to one another. Be sure that your head is in line with the neck and the upper back should be straight during the entire exercise. Pull in your abs and keep your midsection tight. From the starting position, inhale as you bend your elbows and lower the body to the floor. Once your chest is almost touching the floor, exhale as you press yourself up by straightening the elbows.
