- Knees bent, interlace fingers behind head. Think of lifting head and feet at the same time to bring elbows to knees. Note where is the pressure in the back. Then do it. Then bring arms above head, lengthen legs and think what organization would permit to lift both arms and legs at the same time. Then knees bent, lift feet and arms at the same time and bring them to the floor at the same time.
