Instructions

Setup

Start in a quadruped position, hands directly under your shoulders and knees directly under your hips. Hover your knees a few inches off the floor, engaging your core to maintain a flat back.

Movement

  1. Initiate movement by moving your right hand and right foot simultaneously to the right.

  2. Follow with your left hand and left foot to close the gap.

  3. Keep your hips level throughout the movement and avoid rotating your torso.

  4. Take several steps in one direction before returning in the opposite direction.

Tips

  • Keep the movement controlled.

  • Focus on maintaining a 'tabletop' back position; do not let your lower back sag or your hips rise too high.
