"The purpose [of this move] is to use our upper body strength, abs, and back muscles to lower and lift ourselves in one piece keeping the arms close to the rib cage," Parrish says.
- In your plank position, place your hands directly underneath your shoulders. Keep your powerhouse engaged, reach your chest forward as you reach your heels back.
- With your fingertips facing forward, inhale and draw your elbow back, grazing your ribcage, as you lower down halfway in one piece.
- Exhale as you push down in your arms to rise back up in one piece.
- Repeat five times.
