EXERCISE USE

Used as a pre-cursor to the Bird Dog, the leg slide gives you more points of contact to learn how to keep a stable core and pelvis while you move a leg.

INSTRUCTIONS

Set Neutral Spine, Breathing and Deep Core activation. As you breathe OUT slowly slide one leg straight out behind you along the floor. Do not allow your back to arch or to let one hip drop down towards the ground. As you breathe IN slowly return the leg back to your starting position. You should maintain your deep core activation throughout the movement and make sure your shoulders do not sink. Then repeat on the other side.
