Chest Lift With Hands on the Floor

Description

Lie on your back with your legs bent and feet flat on the floor, arms alongside your body and forearms pronated, palms facing the floor. As you exhale, press your hands into the floor to accentuate the abdominal contraction, and curl your head and then your torso up to the tips of your scapulas, keeping your pelvis neutral. Inhale at the top, then slowly roll down vertebra by vertebra. Perform the movement in a controlled manner, without pulling on your neck.
