Beginner · Reps, each side

Bird dog

On hands and knees, reach one arm and the opposite leg long: balance and a stable spine.

Just floor space

How to do it

  1. 1 Hands under shoulders, knees under hips, back flat.
  2. 2 Reach one arm forward and the opposite leg back until both are level with your body.
  3. 3 Hold for a breath, return, and switch sides.

Watch out for

  • Twisting the hips
  • Lifting the leg too high and arching
