Seal Push-Up

Lie on your stomach, legs extended behind you and place your hands directly below your shoulders.
Contract your glutes and press up through your hands and the tops of your feet to lift your torso and legs off the floor.
Hold this suspended seal for a moment before bending your elbows and lowering your torso to hover just off of the floor.
Push up again to start your second rep, allowing only your hands and feet to touch the floor during the entire set.
Maintain contracted glutes to help protect your lower back and promote more extension through your middle and upper spine.
Repeat for reps.
