    Begin by aggressively extending through the hips, knees and ankles, driving the weight upward. As you do so, shrug your shoulders towards your ears.

  3. 3

    Immediately recover by driving through the heels, keeping the torso upright and elbows up. Continue until you have risen to a standing position.
