How to Do Looking At Ceiling

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the looking at ceiling.

How to do it

1. Kneel on the floor, holding your heels with both hands.
2. Lift your buttocks up and forward while bringing your head back to look up at the ceiling, to give an arch in your back.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
