This is such a good one to get us in tune with our bodies and keep us balanced. The further back your knee is (less shin on the mat), the more challenging this is.
Enjoy!

Triple Target Tuesday - hitting glutes, inner thighs, and core. What’s your favorite spot to target?

So much control here!!!
Push the bar through, with your elbows as straight as possible. (So much core!)
Fold down as flat as you can go.
Up with a flat back.
Back down.
Up with a c-curve.
And controlled through (core again), to above your head.

It really is the little things in our form...
- Making sure that c-curve is happening in the core, not shoulders.
- Keeping ribs in.
- Thinking rib to hip (not elbow to knee).

“If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

We are still working toward that backbend.

This one is tougher than it looks.
Keep hips stacked. Keep shoulders stacked. Keep hip and shoulder in line and stay between two panes of glass.
But, I promise, the yummy stretch at the end makes it worth it!

Little position changes make a big difference.
From plank, if we turn out the foot of our working leg, it works the leg and glute differently.

Who has some leg goals for the new year?
