Instructions
- Preparation: Sit on seat and grasp stirrups to each side. Position elbows out to sides, slightly lower than shoulder height. Position hands slightly narrower than elbow width in front of upper arms. Execution: Push stirrups out straight until arms are straight and parallel to one another.
