On top of providing a stretch, Ribaudo said this move is helpful in strengthening your low back/core and helping with stability.
- Begin on hands and knees in a tabletop position.
- Make sure your knees are under your hips and your hands under your shoulders
- Maintain a neutral spine by engageing your abdominal muscles.
- Raise your right arm and left leg, keeping your shoulders and hips parallel to the floor.
- Lengthen the back of your neck, and tuck your chin into your chest to make sure your gaze is on the floor (to not stress your neck).
- Hold this position for five seconds, then lower back to the starting position.
- Raise your left arm and right leg, holding this position now for five seconds.
- Return to the starting position. This counts as one rep.
- Do one to two sets of 10 reps.
