  2. 2

    Place your right hand onto the line, and thing bring your nose close to your left knee.

  3. 3

    Squat down as you lean foward, your head being lower than your hips and your weight loaded onto the left leg. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Take your left hand up so that it is parallel to the ground, pointing behind you, and explode out when ready.
