    01 Lower back pressed down, arms by the ears, rock onto the shoulder blades.

    Avoid: bending at the hips or knees: the shape breaks, the abs switch off.

  2. Rock forward, same banana shape; raise the legs if the back lifts.

    02 Rock forward, same banana shape; raise the legs if the back lifts.
