📖 Detailed description
Start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Extend your right arm forward and your left leg back. Pause for 2 seconds while keeping your pelvis stable, your core engaged, and your neck neutral. Return slowly, then switch sides. Control matters more than height.
💡 Execution tips
- Imagine a glass of water balanced on your pelvis that must not move.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Lifting the leg too high, opening the pelvis, arching the back, moving too fast.
