Instructions

Setup

  • Begin by lying face down on a comfortable mat with legs fully extended and arms stretched out in front of you.

Movement

  • Engage your core and glutes to lift your chest, arms, and legs slightly off the floor; maintain this hover throughout the set.

  • Begin the swimming motion by lifting your right arm and left leg higher, then switch to lifting your left arm and right leg.

  • Continue to alternate in a fluid, controlled motion as if swimming through the air.

  • Keep your gaze directed toward the floor to maintain a neutral neck alignment, avoiding excessive hyperextension of the cervical spine.
