How To

Raise yourself up so that your arms are fully extended, keeping your legs crossed.
Inhale and lower yourself down towards the ground by bending at the elbows.
Continue lowering yourself until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
Exhale and push yourself up until your arms are straight again, returning to the starting position.
