How to Do the Body-up

Start by placing your hands on a raised surface, such as a bench or parallel bars, with your palms facing down and fingers pointing forward. Extend your legs out in front of you, keeping your heels on the ground and your body straight. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides, until your upper arms are parallel to the ground. Pause for a moment, then push through your palms to straighten your arms and lift your body back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
