Reverse Snow Angels

How to: Position yourself facedown on the ground with arms at your sides and palms

your shoulders and up to your ears until your thumbs meet directly above your
head (b). Then, bring your arms back to the starting position. The key here is keeping
the arms straight and elbows locked through the entire movement to engage your lats
and shoulders (c). Repeat for 3 sets of 5 reps, with 30-60 seconds of rest between
sets.

both knees are bent at about 90-degree angle. Make sure your front knee is directly
above your ankle, not pushed out too far, and make sure your other knee doesn't touch
