Prone Y-T-W raise

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Lie face down, forehead resting on a towel, arms overhead in a Y with the thumbs up.
2. Lift the arms just off the floor, hold, and lower.
3. Move the arms out to a T and repeat, then bend the elbows into a W and repeat.
4. That's one round; keep the chest down throughout.

Common mistakes

• Lifting the chest off the floor — only the arms lift.
• Cranking the neck up — keep the forehead down.
• Rushing — hold each lift for a breath.
