Snake with support

Lie on your stomach, with your knees bent and grab your heels with your hands.

From this starting position, raise your head and move it backward, helping yourself with the strength made by your arms stretching toward your ankles. You must not attempt to raise your back as much as you are able to, but only to lift it off the floor. Hold this position for about 5 seconds and then rest your trunk on the floor. Repeat the movement until you have completed the series.
