Start by putting your hands on the floor wider than shoulder distance apart.

Hold a neutral spine and slowly lower the body while simultaneously leaning towards one arm and outstretching the other arm beside you. you may rotate your head to look at your outstretch arm. Generally your non-sliding hand should be at your nipple line at the bottom of the movement. Push up while pulling the outstretched arm back in and keeping the core braced.
