Forearm Plank Exercise Pose: Difficulty, 2; lower back, 1. Lie on your stomach, feet together. Clasp your hands in front of you so your forearms are on the floor. Now flex your feet so your toes are braced against the floor and your heels are pointing toward the ceiling. Lift your torso and legs off the floor so you’re supporting your weight with only your forearms and toes. Don’t let your back arch, and don’t raise your butt toward the ceiling; keep your body long and straight. Hold for 10 breaths.
