Instructions

Start by grasping the handles, bring the feet together and lower the body into a semi-supine position (approx 45 degrees).  With the shoulders set down and back, arms fully extended and chest is up, raise the body into the upright position, pivoting on the heel and bringing the arms straight out to the side using the upper back muscles.  Once in the upright position, in a controlled fashion, lower the body back to the semi-supine position. Common Error is flexing the elbows and not keeping the shoulders set throughout the movement.
