  3. 3 Extend your legs forward with heels on the ground, positioning your body so your chest is directly below the towels.
  4. 4 Straighten your arms completely, letting your body hang in a straight line from head to heels.

  6. 6 Continue pulling until your chest almost touches your hands or the towels, keeping your body in a straight line.

  8. 8 Ensure your arms are fully extended at the bottom before beginning the next repetition.
