Paper-Plate Hold

  • Sit on the floor, and carefully place a paper plate in between your feet (it's OK if it bends slightly to keep it in place).
  • Place your hands on the ground behind you for support.
  • Bend your elbows behind you slightly, and lean back to lift both of your legs up, making a "V" shape with your body. Keep your back flat and core engaged. If you think about lifting your chest, it will help prevent your spine from rounding.
  • Hold this position for one minute. If it's too hard, bend your knees slightly.
