Ring Support Swing

Set a pair of gymnastic rings to at least shoulder height.
Grab ahold of the rings and hop up to a proper top support above the rings.
Straighten your elbows and turn the rings out past parallel.
Achieve a completely vertical body line, strongly press your elbows forward, and then begin to swing your body forward and backward.
As you swing, keep your body as tight as possible and press your elbows forward to maintain stability.
There should be daylight between your torso and arms between every forward and backward ring swing.
Repeat for reps.
