To set up, assume a tabletop position on the mat with your hands under your shoulders.

Turn your forearms in about 45 degrees to form a diamond shape with your hands.

Bend at the knees, keeping them just above the floor.

double-check your weight stays evenly balanced between your hands and the balls of your feet.

Then, lower yourself by bending your elbows and pushing your knees out.

Your back should remain flat.

Move into a staggered stance with one foot in front of you and the other behind.

Your chest should be tall and your core tight as you lower into a split squat.

Then, rise up 1/4 of the way before lowering back down.

Drive through your front foot’s heel to rise all the way back up.

Keeping your core tight, push through the heel of your working leg, extending your hip up.

Flex your glute hard at the top of the motion, then lower to the floor while maintaining control.

Lie down on the mat, making sure to keep your lower back flat.

With a tight core, raise your feet back toward your torso, flexing your abs hard.

Then slowly lower your legs to the floor while keeping tension in your core.
