Frog Stand
How to do it
- Squat down low with the knees spread wide and place both hands flat on the floor shoulder width apart in front of you.
- Rest the outsides of your knees against the backs of your upper arms, just above the elbows, and lean your weight forward.
- Brace the core hard and press firmly through the hands, loading the shoulders as you shift the weight off your feet.
- Slowly lift both feet off the floor, balancing on the hands alone with the knees hooked against the arms.
- Keep the head up and the gaze slightly forward, breathing steadily rather than holding your breath to stay balanced.
- Lower the feet back to the floor with control between attempts rather than dropping out of the position.
