Start with hands on the footbar, arms straight, shoulders stacked over wrists.

Step one foot at a time onto the carriage, placing your feet either:
*against the shoulder blocks ( more support), or *just in front of them with your heels lifted (more challenging )

Your body forms one long line from head to heels. Heels press back, crown of the head reaches forward.

Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, engage your core and press the carriage slightly away by driving through your hands and shoulders- not your lower back. Inhale to return the carriage in with control, resisting the springs
