Reverse Snow Angel

Step 3 - Sweep your arms out to the sides and overhead in an arc motion
Step 4 - Return arms to starting position, maintaining chest lift
Recommended Sets & Time:
Beginner: 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps, 45 seconds rest
Intermediate: 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps, 30 seconds rest
Advanced: 4-5 sets of 20-25 reps, 30 seconds rest
What to Focus On:
Upper back squeeze - You should feel your shoulder blades pulling together as you sweep your arms
Chest elevation - Keep your chest lifted off the ground throughout the entire arm movement
Smooth arm motion - Create a flowing arc with your arms, like making a snow angel in reverse
Rear shoulder work - Feel the back of your shoulders working to move your arms
Modifications:
Easier: Perform the arm sweeps with your chest resting on the ground
Harder: Pause for 2 seconds at the top of each arm sweep while maintaining chest lift
