Description:
  1. Lying supine with straight arm overhead and KB in hand.
  2. Thrust upwards by pushing KB to sky, engaging sit-up muscles and sliding lower arm underneath you until you are on your elbow.
  3. Pushing from elbow thrust your hips upwards until fully seated upright and now you are on your hand.
  4. Drive leg opposite to DB arm underneath you and thrust upwards yet again until you are in a 1/2 kneeling lunge position.
  5. Stand up out of the lunge to complete the movement.
  6. Return by completing steps in reverse order.
