Let's build on the stability that we're forming by challenging it a bit more. By adding in an arm movement we have less contact with the ground so we are moving on a less stable base. Our centre of gravity is challenged more and we rely more on our deep stabilisers to hold the movement. Using the contact we have with the ground through our hand and knee will find the connection through these deep stabilisers.
Why does this matter?
This movement requires our contralaterals (diagonals) to stabilise with movement. These are essential for good stabilisation through every day functions - walking, running, reaching, pulling, pushing etc. This is such a great exercise to help you day to day in moving efficiently and easily.
From this we can (and we will) build some really strong movements going forward to develop arm strength and whole body strength.
I'd love to know how you're getting on :-)
