Carry over the concept from the wall sits to this squat. Core tight, lower back rounded.

PIKE PUSH-UPS

FROG STAND

Description: This move starts by placing your hands on the ground flat in front of you slightly wider than your shoulders.

Extra Notes: Put a pillow down by your head for if/when you lose your balance forwards 🙂
