順項提頂,溜臀收肛
順項是使頸項自然豎直,在鍛煉時不要仰頭,不要低頭,也不要左右歪斜。提頂是將下頦裡收,頭向上直頂。溜臀是將臀部下垂向裡收縮,在鍛煉時不要有絲毫的向後撅臀的現象產生。收肛是將肛門的肌肉予以收縮控制,不要使它放鬆。

"Straighten the nape means the neck becomes naturally upright; during the practice one should not raise or bow the head nor incline it left or right. To lift of the crown means the chin is collected in; the head pushes up and straighten the crown of the head. Buttocks slip means the buttocks will hang down and contract inward. During the practice one should not let the buttocks even to start to stick out backwards. To hold the anus means one must apply a controlled contraction to the rectal muscle; and not allow it to loosen."
