- Begin with your hands and feet on the floor and your hips raised, so your body forms an inverted V.

- Keep hands 2 to 3 inches wider than your shoulders and your knees and hips 2 to 3 inches off the floor.
- Reverse the move, bringing your hips back toward the ceiling.
- Repeat for a total of 5 to 10 reps.
