Coaching Cues
• Press the lower back gently into the floor.
• Stack the knees over the hips and the arms over the shoulders.
• Extend the opposite arm and leg slowly without losing contact through the lower back.
• Exhale during the reach.
• Return to center with control and switch sides.
Optional Notes
A controlled core-stability exercise that teaches the trunk to resist extension while the arms and legs move.
Shorten the range of motion if the lower back begins to lift away from the floor.
