Demo (loops)

How to do it

Starting position

  1. Place the parallettes shoulder-width apart and grip the handles.
  2. Lift your hips high to form an inverted V shape with your body.
  3. Keep your gaze toward your feet.

Movement

  1. Bend your elbows to lower your head down between your hands.
  2. Pause once your head lowers below the height of the handles.
  3. Push with your shoulders to return to the starting position.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower, exhale as you press.

Cautions

  • If your elbows flare out to the sides, it puts stress on the front of your shoulders. Bend them diagonally backward.
  • If your hips drop, it turns into a push-up. Maintain the V-shape angle.
  • If your wrists hurt, turn the handles slightly outward.
