Start Position:
Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keep your spine neutral and your core gently engaged.
Action:
- Reach Forward: Extend one arm forward and plant your hand firmly on the floor.
- Cross Diagonal: Lift the opposite knee and move it forward in a cross-body diagonal pattern.
- Repeat: Switch to the opposite arm and knee, creating a fluid, alternating motion.
- Continue the pattern, gradually building to smooth, continuous movements.
Purpose:
- Enhances coordination and cross-body movement patterns.
- Improves shoulder and hip mobility.
- Promotes core and postural control.
Note of Precaution:
Focus on smooth transitions rather than speed.
Move slowly at first to maintain control and proper form.
If you experience pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and consider consulting a physical therapist.
