The fingers are stretched out and the head is in contact with the mat. Make sure students have extended their feet as far as possible from the buttocks while still allowing feet to remain flat on floor. Students fingertips are just resting on the nearest edge of the measuring strip. Keeping heels in contact with the mat, student curls up slowly, sliding fingers across the measuring strip until fingertips reach the other side and curls back down until their head touches the mat.
