Step 1: Put your palms flat on the ends of your NUB balance board or grip the edge of the board. Your feet can be together or a bit wider and parallel to each other if that's more comfortable.

Step 2: Look forward, keep your body in a straight line from head to toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back.

Step 3: Lower your body slowly towards the floor. Do not rush, take your time. Bend your arms and keep your palms in fixed position.
