## How to do it

1. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the floor, about 15 cm from a wall if you need support.
2. Kick up one leg at a time until your body is inverted, with your heels on the wall or balanced freely.
3. Push the floor away through your shoulders, keep your arms straight and your ribs pulled in, and squeeze your glutes so that your body stays in one straight line.
4. Look at a point between your hands and hold the position for time.
5. Come down under control by lowering one leg at a time.
