DOWN DOG TO HIGH PLANK
Sets: 1
Reps: 12
Starting in a high plank position, inhale as you send your hips up towards the ceiling. You should feel a stretch through the hamstrings. Pedal out your feet here for an additional stretch.
Exhale as you draw in your core and shift the hips back down to high plank. Think of drawing in lower, middle and upper abs.
Inhale and repeat, lifting the hips high. Your shoulders should be pushing the floor away. Press your chest towards your shins to get a shoulder/lat stretch.
Use this to warm up your shoulder, hip and hamstring mobility, as well as activation for your deep core in the high plank position.
Modifications:
Take the plank down to the knees.
Perform on an elevated surface (bench, coffee table).
