Lift your chest and feet off the ground, stretching your arms towards your feet. Your eyes, fingers and toes should be in a straight line. Feel the tension in your navel area as the abdominal muscles contract. Keep breathing while maintaining the pose. As you exhale, slowly come back to the ground and relax.
