4. Applying the force from your heels, raise your hips in the upward direction.
5. Final position: Keep raising your glutes in the upward direction until your thighs, hips and back are in a straight line.
6. Stay there in this position for a count of one and return back to the starting position by lowering your hips back to the floor.
