Instructions
Movement: Starting from the support position with arms extended on gymnastic rings, slowly lower yourself until your arms parallel to the ground. Hold momentarily at the end position and return to the start.
Caution: Do not descend farther than a point at which you have strong control over the rings. If you do not have an appropriate base in gymnastics it is important to build up to this movement over time.
