Begin sitting on your heels. Lean forward and place your forearms on the floor with your elbows about a foot apart. Clasp your hands, forming a tripod between your elbows and hands. Curl your toes under and lift the sit bones in the air until the legs are straight. As you exhale, bring your head between your elbows; as you inhale, bring your sternum (chest plate) above your hands. This movement requires the engagement of the entire abdominal area, toning and strengthening the muscles without the neck and back strain of conventional sit ups. This movement also exercises the muscles of the upper arms and back, stretches the back of the legs, and prepares you for headstand.
