Sets: 2

Reps: 12 (6 each side)

• Set up in an incline plank position on wall, counter or bench. It is recommended to set up on a wall to start, and very gradually decrease the incline as you feel comfortable.

• Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

• Exhale as you zip/draw in the core, stabilize through the midsection and one arm, as you tap the opposite shoulder with the other arm.

• Inhale and reset once you are back in plank position.

• Exhale and repeat tapping the shoulder on the opposite side.

• Tip: think about pressing the stabilizing arm into the wall. Your shoulder blade should protract and round (vs, caving inwards). This creates a proper stable base through the scapula and upper back as you unweight the opposite arm.

Modications:

• Increase the incline as needed to perform confidently.

• Modify the shoulder tap to a hand lift.
