From standing, fold at the hips with straight legs to put the hands on the floor, walk the hands forward to a high plank while the feet stay put, then keep the hands still and walk the feet forward up to the hands; the whole body ends further forward.

How to do it

1. Stand with feet together, legs straight (knees soft).
2. Hinge at the hips and fold forward until the hands are flat on the floor just in front of the feet.
3. Walk the hands forward in 3 alternating steps (about a forearm length each); feet stay planted, heels rise as the body lengthens, legs stay straight.
4. Stop in a high plank with the hands under the shoulders and the body straight.
5. Keep the hands planted and walk the feet forward in 3 short steps, legs straight, hips rising, until the feet are close to the hands.
6. Roll up to standing; you are now further forward than where you started.
