Objectives
Increases shoulder mobility and stability through smooth, well-organized arm movement.
Strengthens the latissimus dorsi, spinal extensors, and abdominal muscles to create an integrated support system.
Coordinates the actions of the arms, shoulders & spinal extensors for efficient, connected upper-body mechanics.
Develops deep abdominal control to stabilize the trunk while the arms move in a prone and extended position.
Teaches lumbo-pelvis stabilization through the co- contraction of the abdominals and hip extensors to create an anchor as the back moves into extension.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
