- The opposite leg to the hand on the Smashbell is extended behind you. It becomes a line with the buttocks, back, and head.
- While you inhale, both arms are bent in the elbow so that the chest is brought close to the floor. The head faces downward or looks slightly forward. The leg stays in a line with the back and buttocks, parallel to the floor.
- While you exhale the arms are extended. Through chest and arms muscles and especially the strength of the triceps, the upperbody is brought away from the floor and the arms are extended. The body reaches the starting position again.
