Place your hands on the floor directly beneath your shoulders. Spread your fingers wide to increase the base of support and surface area, which helps to decrease wrist pain. Also, make sure your first finger or pointer finger points straight forward.
Extend your legs straight back with your feet together and the balls of your feet on the ground. Squeeze your glutes, and tighten your entire core by slightly pulling your belly button upward toward your spine. Remember to breathe!
