Hold a towel wide above your head, pull it apart, and squat.
Squat with a towel up
How to do it
- Hold it wider than your shoulders and pull it tight.
- Arms stay behind your ears the whole way down.
- Go only as deep as your arms will stay back.
Blow out on the way up.
- A towel
- Enough floor to lie down on, arms out.
- Check what's above you before you reach up.
- Light is right. If it's hard to hold, put it down.
Watch out for this
Make it fit you
The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.
Easier
- Squat
- Hold the towel even wider.
Harder
- Bring your hands a thumb's width closer each week.
