Technique
- Stand one arm-length away from a wall, place your hands on the ground and place your feet on the wall.

- Hold that position for time and save enough strength to come out of the position safely.
Form tips
- Engage your Abs and use a posterior Pelvic tilt position to prevent your back from arching.
