Lay down on the floor on one side. Lift your body on one forearm and support it in this raised position for the precribed time. Keep your head, neck, hips and legs aligned in a straight line.
STEP 2
Lower your body and repeat with the other side.
Special Notes
It would be best if you could do this exercise in front of a mirror so that you can see whether or not you are aligning your body in a straight line. The most difficult thing with this exercise is to keep your hips from sagging towards the floor. As you hold longer, you will find that your hips will start to sag down. Try not to let this happen. You need to maintain a straight line alignment of your body during the entire duration of the hold.
