Instructions

Setup

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

  • Hold a dumbbell in one hand, while the opposite hand remains flat on the floor for stability.

  • Position your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.

Movement

  • The Extension: Simultaneously extend the leg opposite to the hand holding the dumbbell straight back, keeping your hips square to the floor.

  • The Row/Fly: Perform a row by pulling the dumbbell toward your hip while maintaining a neutral spine.

  • The Rear Lateral Raise: From the top of the row position, extend the arm out to the side, perpendicular to your torso, to engage the posterior deltoids.

  • Return: Carefully bring the dumbbell back to the starting position on the floor while bringing your knee back to the tabletop position.

  • Stabilization: Ensure your core remains engaged throughout the entire movement to prevent excessive rotation of the hips and torso.
