Major Muscles Worked:

Core, Back, coordination

Set Up:

1. Start on all fours, with your hips positioned directly above your knees and your hands directly under your shoulders.
2. Your lower back should be in a neutral position, neither rounded nor arched.

The Movement:

1. Start by raising your arm and opposite leg so that they’re both parallel to the floor.
   example: your right leg and left arm.
2. Hold for a count of 1 to 2.
3. Slowly lower to the starting position
4. Alternate sides
   example: your left leg and right arm.

Specific Cues:

• It’s common to initially raise the arm & leg on the same side – this happens to everyone.
• Pause for a second in the top of the position. This will ensure that you’re not swinging and using momentum to perform the action, but the strength of your core to lift.
