Gymbo
Elbows under shoulders. Squeeze your glutes. Ribs down. Imagine a glass of water on your back. Breathe. If your hips pike or sag, reset.
Setup
- Elbows under the shoulders, forearms parallel.
- Squeeze glutes. Pull the ribs down.
- Quality seconds beat a shaking minute.
Cues to say out loud
Elbows stacked under the shoulders.
Glutes on. Ribs down.
Long neck — look at the floor, not the wall.
Breathe. A held breath is a countdown to sag.
Mistakes Gymbo will call
Hips pike up
That's a half downward dog. Drop the hips until the line is long.
Low back sags
Squeeze glutes harder. End the set before the sag owns you.
Holding the breath
In through the nose, out through the mouth. Stillness with air.
