LOOK: How to ace the 'lying down on the beach' pose

Posting an Instagram photo lying down on the beach is sure to get you lots of likes.

Plus, it's a great excuse to show off your figure and get a nice tan--definitely hitting two birds with one stone, right?

But how is it done, really? Let these Kapuso beauties teach you how to ace the pose in three easy steps.

Step one: Butt Out

Make sure to stick your tush out like Julie Anne San Jose to show off "the finished product" of all the squats that you had been doing at the gym. The burning sensation you felt in your thighs for days was worth it all along!

Step two: Elongate

Stretch your arms and legs to make your body appear longer and leaner. Lovi Poe here looks like a 6-foot-tall supermodel, right?

Step three: Relax!

Arguably the most important step. You have to look extremely relaxed in the photo despite your core hurting from holding the pose for too long and the hot sand getting everywhere. Take ut from Solenn Heussaff. She sure makes this pose look effortless.
