Lie face down with your arms in an "L" position so that the upper arms are in line with your shoulders and your elbows are bent at 90 degrees and facing forwards.
Keep your head slightly elevated and aligned with your spine.
Your hands should be facing palms down with your fingers extended.
Now tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilise your trunk and slowly raise both arms off the floor no higher than 6 inches and hold for the required time, then slowly lower your arms down to the floor.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Throughout the exercise, keep your arms at 90 degrees through your elbows in the "L" position and ensure your trunk and legs are aligned.
Perform this exercise in a slow controlled manner and do not jerk the body into the up-position when raising the arms.
