Step 1

Sit down on the floor with your knees bent, feet just wider than hip width apart and only your heels on the floor

Step 2

Brace your tummy and pull it in towards your spine

Step 3

Put your hands behind your hips to help you balance and lift your feet off the floor

Step 4

If this feels ok remove your hands and try to balance (you can always put them down again)

Step 5

If this still feels ok, extend your legs and body away from each other as much as possible (even if it’s for a short moment)

Step 6

Hold this position for as long as you can up to a maximum of 30 seconds
