- 3 Lift one leg off the elevated surface, extending it straight back or slightly bent, maintaining a stable core.
- 4 Engage your core and glutes to keep your body rigid and prevent your hips from sagging.
- 5 Lower your chest towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
- 6 Continue lowering until your chest is just above the floor or your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
- 7 Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position, maintaining the single-leg and decline posture.
