Day 3 of February! We’re on a roll 🙂
The bird dog is great for stability, balance, and just feels good on your back. Give it a try!
Kathryn Alexander demonstrates the bird dog with her fantastic assistant, Inside Cat
To do the Bird Dog
First, please use a mat or carpet.
- start in 4 point position (hands and knees on ground, knees under hips, hands under shoulders)
- control your torso so your back is flat and tight
- pretend you are balancing red wine on your back and wearing your favorite white cashmere $$$ shirt
- extend your right arm trying to resist movement in the torso
- return to start position
- repeat with all limbs
- to increase the challenge, do right arm + left leg together, then left arm + right leg at the same time
If you wanna get super crazy here, set up like normal, then pick your knees up off the ground just an inch. This is way hard! Let me know if you try this 🙂
