From all fours, place your forearms on the ground, shoulder distance apart. You can measure your shoulder’s distance by grabbing opposite elbows and leaving your elbows there as you parallel your forearms to one another.
Next, tuck your toes, and lift your hips into dolphin, which is downward facing dog on your forearms. Look forward and reach your chin toward your thumbs on an inhale, coming almost to a forearm plank. Use your exhale to lift your hips back into dolphin pose, raising hips back toward the ceiling. That’s one rep.
