How to perform it

  1. 1Start on all fours with your forearms on the ground and one knee (the left) elevated slightly off the floor, creating a unilateral demand through the hip and core. Lift your belly away from the floor by bracing your core and driving your forearms down, creating full-body tension without allowing the hips to rotate or the lower back to sag. Hold the position for a prescribed time, breathing steadily while maintaining trunk stiffness. Avoid letting the elevated knee touch down or the lumbar spine collapse — feel the asymmetrical core challenge and deep stabilizer activation on the elevated side.
