This full-body workout stimulates a number of different muscular groups, including your glutes, hamstrings, abdominal muscles, obliques, triceps, and shoulders. Rather than facing downward, you will arrange yourself so that your stomach is facing upward until you reach the ceiling.

While seated on the floor, maintain a lofty posture and extend your legs in front of you. Position your hands so that they are behind you on the floor, with your fingertips pointing in the direction of your feet.
In order to elevate your hips and create a straight line from your heels to your shoulders, engage your glutes, core, and arms muscle groups. It is important to make sure that your shoulders are brought down and away from your ears. In order to prevent your hips from dropping, you should slightly tuck your pelvis.
This should be held for twenty to thirty seconds, or for as long as you can while still keeping the correct form.
If you want to take your workout to the next level, try adding a leg raise to your routine. While you are holding the reverse plank position, start by bending at the hip and then lifting your right leg toward the ceiling. When you lift, be sure that your hips remain stable and that your upper body remains powerful. Using control, bring your leg back down to the floor, and then repeat the exercise with the opposite leg.

Placing your hands on an elevated surface, such as a step or bench, will make the task much simpler for you.
