yeah, I guess maybe straight arm would have been a better way to describe it. I was focused on what part of the body touched the floor.

Barb wrote One small warning: the woman trainer pictured on one site is looking upward with her chin raised and her neck scrunched. Don't do that. Keep your head, neck, and spine in a neutral position: all in a line. You can look a little way forward with only your eyes if that helps. But keep that neutral spine.

And remember to breathe. Yes, you are pulling in your abdominal muscles, but you still need to breathe if you're going to make the distance.


Believe me, I'm NOT looking up! My eyes are on the little digital stopwatch right under my thumb. And I know I need to breathe...I just haven't figured out yet how to draw a breath AND still keep all those muscles tight enough not to collapse. I'm realizing that although my leg muscles are pretty strong, the rest of me is a total wimp!
