  2. Keep your arms straight and shoulders pressed down, your ears away from the shoulders.
  3. Straighten your legs keeping them close together, touching each other.
  4. Raise both legs until nearly parallel to the ground.
  5. Count the seconds you can hold them straight and close to horizontal.

Hints & tips:

  • Easy to perform, you can find two chairs everywhere.
