Step 1

Place a bench horizontally in front of you. Place both hands on the bench slightly further than shoulder-width apart with feet together on the floor behind you, resting on the balls of your feet. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. While maintaining a neutral spine, bend your elbows and lower your torso towards the bench until your arms form two 90-degree angles.

Step 3

Exhale. Push through your chest and extend your elbows to lift your body back into the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
