Exercise/Body/Flexibility/Reverse Tabletop
Reverse Tabletop
- Practice moving into a supported shoulder-extension position while raising the hips.
Setup
- Sit with knees bent, feet flat, and hands behind the hips, fingers pointing outward. Press through hands and feet to raise the hips toward a tabletop position.
Practice
- Keep the neck comfortable and breathe. Lift only as high as your shoulders and wrists comfortably allow; begin with short holds and lower under control.
Dose and Progression
- Begin with short holds and work toward a comfortable ten-second hold. Increase height or try the next shoulder-extension variation only while the position remains comfortable.
Cues and Variations
- Work toward a comfortable ten-second hold before trying the video's further shoulder-extension progressions. Keep a lower hip position or a shorter hold if full height is not comfortable.
