Double-Arm Pulldown with Kickboard calls for a combination of stability through the core and functional movement with the arms.

Start by kicking gently on your stomach with arms extended and forearms draped over a kickboard – held sideways.  Kristian can maintain a balanced, horizontal position without equipment, but you might find this easier with a snorkel.   When you feel balanced and stable, pull down with both arms until the kickboard is flat against your belly.  Make sure you hold the shape and horizontal balance of your “platform” for 2 to 3 seconds after finishing the pulldown.

Recover the hands and kickboard with as little resistance as possible and resume kicking with the arms extended.  Repeat!
