Benefits: This is a classic exercise that requires stabilization and back strength
Instructions: Keeping your feet out in front of
your body while keeping your back straight, pull your body up towards your hands so your hands are just underneath your armpits. Slowly release back down.
Tips: To make the exercise harder, you can put your feet closer to the anchor point, so that the angle of your body to the ground decreases. This makes you pull a higher percentage of your bodyweight. You can also do the exercise using one foot instead of both planted on the ground. Finally, you can try doing the exercise on your heels, which also make the exercise harder.
