Setup

  • Begin in a tabletop position on your hands and knees.

Movement

  1. From the tabletop position, extend your opposite arm forward and your opposite leg straight back, balancing in a traditional bird dog position.

  2. While maintaining this balanced position, perform a push-up by lowering your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows.

  3. Push back up to the starting extended position, maintaining core engagement throughout the entire range of motion.

  4. Repeat the movement for the prescribed number of repetitions, then switch the opposite arm and leg position for the next set.
