  1. Place a boxing shield horizontally in front of you. Start by placing your forearms (wrist to elbow) firmly on the shield, ensuring that your elbows are directly below your shoulders. Extend both legs behind you and elevate your hips off the mat, resting on the balls of your feet, with your feet together. Brace your abdominals and ensure that your spine remains in a neutral position. This is your starting position.
