Description

Take a stick with a wide grip (wider than shoulder width). Lie on your stomach with your arms extended above your head and your chin tucked in. Lift the stick and the upper body off the ground without lifting your feet off the ground. Hold this position, then bring the stick behind your head by squeezing your shoulder blades together. Return to the starting position with arms extended while keeping the trunk off the ground and repeat the movement.
