Performance
Tips
1.
Keep your abdominal muscles tight with your back straight as
you lean backwards. Avoid slouching. Your abdominals and lower
back are working as stabilizers to maintain the position of
your trunk.
2. This is an advanced exercise. Beginners should avoid it.
3. If you feel pain on in lower back or tailbone (coccyx), avoid
this exercise.
