Objectives
Develops balance and stability through the hips and legs by organizing the lower body against the movement.
Strengthens the hamstrings and glutes to create a powerful, steady foundation for controlled upright support.
Strengthens the rear shoulder to support clear, organized arm mechanics and contributes to improved balance in the lung by stabilizing the upper body over the lower-body stance.
Co-contract the abdominals and spinal extensors to stabilize the trunk securely over the moving legs, creating a steady, well-organized center that supports clean, controlled lower-body motion.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
