How to perform it

  1. 1Get on all fours with your weight on your forearms instead of your hands. Perform the belly lift by exhaling fully and drawing your belly away from the floor. Using forearms changes the thoracic position and makes the belly lift drill more accessible for those with wrist limitations.
