The quadruped position rocks for the abs!
I love a good quadruped position because it decreases the intensity on the upper and lower body, so you can sustain this position for long enough in order to train your BREATHING CORE and your deep abs… It’s a great position to feel the benefits of neutral spine.

The quadruped gives you a superb ability to connect to Ab-Ribbon and your Breathing Core!
If you don’t have an AB-RIBBON yet, tie a bathrobe tie or stiff leather belt around the base of your ribs… Not too tight, but also not too loose: finding the Goldilocks zone is crucial when using the ribbon for tactile feedback in order to maximize your BREATHING CORE!
Find your neutral spine by gently, pushing your shoulder plates apart and moving the pelvis halfway between full tuck and full arch
Take a two second inhalation and tighten the ribbon around the base of your ribs. Then, on an exhalation that lasts at least eight seconds, blow out fairly forcefully in order to get to what I call is the “END of The Breath,” which means that you increase the activity of the deep core muscles that loosens the ribbon around the waist by the time you’re about halfway through that long exhale.
Have an amazing core connected day! ❤️❤️❤️
What is this doing?
It’s increasing the endurance of the deep core that not only stabilizes the back, but also increases the strength and transfer of forces from the upper to the lower body, which helps you not only the in activities of daily living, but also your functional training like squats and lunges.
