  3. Engage your core and lift your feet off the ground, balancing on your hands and rolling forward onto your toes.
  4. Keep your body straight and aligned from head to toe, avoiding any sagging or arching.
  5. Hold this position for a few seconds, focusing on maintaining stability and control.

Wheelbarrow Tips

  2. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, keeping your abs tight throughout the exercise.
  3. Bend your elbows and lower your upper body towards the ground, maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels.
  4. Push through your palms and extend your arms, lifting your body back up to the starting position.
