For the setup of this exercise begin by holding onto the handles with a neutral grip and slowly angle your body to at least 45 degrees. Your arms will be straight and perpendicular to your torso. The rest of your body should make a diagonal line while having your feet flat on the ground or toes pointed up. Pull your body upwards towards your hands. The handles and your hands will end up close to your rib cage. Slowly lower your body back to the starting position. Maintain rigidness by not allowing your hips to sag. If you can complete 15 repetitions, step forward towards the anchor of the suspension trainer.  If you cannot complete a full range of motion and maintain neutral alignment step back to a more upright position. To intensify this exercise perform a single arm suspended row.
