Answer:

Stand or kneel behind the person and wrap your arms around his or her waist. Locate the navel with one or two fingers of one hand. Make a fist with the other hand and place the thumb side against the middle of the person's abdomen, just above the navel and well below the lower tip of the breastbone.
