• Begin your return up the wall by initiating the roll up with your lower abs. This is a powerhouse move.
  Think of using the lower abs to bring your pelvis to an upright position.
  
  
• Continue up, placing each vertebrae on the wall, one by one.
  
  
• As you roll up, your arms travel alongside your ears and the shoulders stay relaxed.
