Down Dog Push-Up

This exercise stretches the back of the legs while working the arms. Do use your abs to help!

  • Begin in a Downward Dog, an inverted V position, stretching your calves and lengthening your spine.
  • Lower your elbows gently to the floor, coming into a Quarter Dog position.
  • Press your hands into the floor to straighten your elbows, and pull your navel up toward your spine to move the pelvis up and back. Return to your Down Dog to complete one rep.
  • Do as many reps as you can, with good form, for one minute.
