The Right Way

- Lift and lower your head and chest together in a slow and controlled movement.
- Keep your fingers lightly on the sides of your head, with your elbows directly out to the sides, or cross your arms over your chest.
- Keep your feet flat on the ground the whole time, with your knees slightly bent.
The Wrong Way

- Lacing your fingers behind your head and pulling your neck forward with your hands.
- Going too fast.
- Not bending your knees (which helps support your back).
