How to do it

Brace your abdominals before starting and maintain that pressure throughout.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and lean forward slightly from your hips.

  2. 2

    Bend your elbows to 90 degrees, keeping them close to your body.

  3. 3

    Open your arms out to the sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

  4. 4

    Perform a small pulse by moving your elbows slightly back, then return to the squeezed position.

  5. 5

    Bring your elbows back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbows slightly bent and focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together to maximize engagement of the chest muscles.
