Resist with your shoulders to keep them open the entire time. Use your back muscles to pull on your hips. Prevent them from slipping into a posterior pelvic tilt for as long as possible. Go as slow as possible and try to stay in control the entire time! If you feel like you are about to lose control: Stop and simply try to freeze in place!
	Forearm Zombie 2x6		Point your feet on the floor. Wear slippery socks or add a slider between your feet and the floor. Straighten your knees and only allow them to bend a tiny bit at the very end if you really must due to a lack of hamstring mobility. Push tall from your shoulders and do not allow your head to touch the floor or your hands. Pull your feet as close as possible towards your elbows and your hips as high as possible in each rep. Allow your head to shift position to look at your feet as your hips rise higher.
