A controlled core stability exercise that teaches you to move your limbs while keeping your spine neutral and protected.
Execution Standards:
- Setup: Lie on your back on the mat with arms pointing up and knees/hips at 90 degrees (tabletop position).
- The Brace: Press your lower back firmly into the mat—there should be no gap.
- The Movement: Slowly lower the opposite arm and leg toward the floor while maintaining back contact with the mat.
- Reset: Return to the center and switch sides, moving with precision rather than speed.
