How to do this exercise:

(Always be sure to check with your Dr before performing this or any other new exercise especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, back or neck problems or are pregnant)

  1. Begin on the floor on your hands and knees. Sit back towards your heels. Knees can be close together or apart, whichever feels best for you.
