Exhale: Keeping your ribs and shoulders down, move the ring to the overhead position.

Feel the pressure of your hands against the ring, helping activate the muscles of the arm and shoulders. Notice that this small pressure helps you feel how the arms are connected into the back. But don't squeeze the ring -- yet.
