Opposite Arm and Leg Reach
Kneel on an exercise mat or carpeted surface and place your hands on the mat, directly under your shoulders. Keep your spine neutral and your neck long. Slowly lift your right leg and your left arm simultaneously until they’re parallel to the floor. Hold for a moment, then release them down to the floor. Repeat with your left leg and right arm. Repeat, alternating sides, for 1 minute.

Tips

• Squeeze your buttocks as you lift your leg.
• Don’t allow your back to arch as you lift your arm and leg. Draw your navel to your spine.
• Press away from the floor with your hands so as not to collapse into your shoulders.
