Light / Medium
1-2 Short Medium or Light Springs
Spinal Flexors
Rectus Abdominis, Internal Oblique, External Oblique
Flexes the trunk forward to lift the head and chest.
Other Muscles at Play
Anterior spinal stabilizers create lumbo-pelvic stabilization.
Scapular upward rotators protract and slightly elevate the scapulae to allow overhead reach without over tensing the neck.
Scapular depressors keep the shoulders down away from the ears.
Hip adductors keep the legs closed together and connect the legs to the midline.
Objectives
Enhances abdominal coordination and improves lower-back mobility by articulating the spine through a subtle, controlled motion.
Promotes greater spinal mobility while engaging abdominal strength to support the body through forward flexion.
Improve low back flexibility and decrease tension.
Sustain steady scapular support as you execute a chest-lift motion—similar to the mat variation—while taking advantage of the springs’ added assistance and resistance.
Prepares the body for the Teaser.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
