Instructions

1) From a standing position, raise your left hand reaching as high as you can, while driving your right knee up in a similar movement to a traditional mountain climber.
2) Bend forward at the waist, and squat so your knees are bent and thighs parallel with the floor.
3) Place your elbows between your knees, and try to touch the floor with either your finger tips or palms.
4) Drop your hips towards the ground, keeping your chest lifted and heels on the floor. Try to hold for 30 seconds.
