Standing Top Backhand Tap & Prayer Push

Standing Top Backhand Tap and Backhand Prayer Push

Positioning:

1. Starting Position: Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed on both feet.

2. Arm Position: Raise your arms above your head, palms pressed together in a prayer position (like a 'Namaste' pose). Your elbows should be slightly bent.

3. Shoulder Position: Relax your shoulders away from your ears to avoid tension.

Movement:

1. Backhand Tap:

   • Begin by lowering your arms down in front of your chest while keeping the palms pressed together.

   • Bring your hands towards your chest, bending your elbows and keeping your palms together. This is your backhand tap.

   2. Return to Prayer Position:

   • From the backhand tap position, lift your arms again straight up above your head, returning to the prayer position.

2. Repeat Movement:

   • Continue the movement by alternating between the backhand tap and the prayer position.

   • Aim for a smooth and controlled motion, focusing on engaging your core and maintaining good posture throughout.

Key Points:

• Breathe steadily during the exercise.

• Keep your core engaged to stabilize your body.

• Focus on a fluid transition between the two positions.

Repetitions:

• Aim for 10-15 repetitions, resting as necessary.
