Hi, I’m tempted to do this one.
How long is it recommended to maintain this position?
Maybe you could write a post about how to perform this exercise?
Thanks,
Melanie
Hi, Melanie, i think, for beginner, you can maintain this position for about 10-30 seconds, and then as time goes on with your practicing more and more, you can keep longer, up to 1 min or longer. so, don’t worry, and it is very easy.
And of course, i will write a post about how to perform this exercise soon. So just keep waiting, thank you for your time.
