Instructions

  1. Preparation: Grasp suspension handles and momentarily step back until arms are extended forward and straight. While keeping arms straight and shoulders back, step forward so body reclines back behind suspension handles. Position body and legs straight at desired angle, hanging from handles with arms straight and palms facing downward. Execution: Raise arms upward overhead by flexing shoulders with arms straight. Return and lower body back until arms are extended straight forward in original position. Repeat. Comments: At higher angles, feet can be placed flat on floor. When angled further back, only heels may contact floor with forefeet raising upward. Dismounting can be achieved by walking backward until body is upright. This exercise can be performed on TRXⓇ style suspension trainer or adjustable length gymnastics rings.
