At the same time, raise your arms, legs and lift your chest off the floor, as shown in the figure. Hold this position for a few seconds. Hint: For the most effective stretch, tighten your lower back. During this movement, you need to exhale. As you inhale, slowly lower your arms, legs, and chest, returning to the starting position. Complete the required number of repetitions. Variations: You can also do this exercise by alternately raising one arm and leg alternately on the left side and then on the right side.
