What is the challenge?
The challenge involves a person standing straight with one foot resting on the wall. Keeping the leg on the wall, revolve your body 180 degrees so that you are now facing the floor. Then, placing your palms on the floor and balancing your body on them, lift yourself and stretch the other leg up in the air so that your body is making a Y shape. Bring the raised leg down and ease back onto the floor to return to your original position.
