Exercise Description

The floor reach exercise builds core strength and improves shoulder mobility. It teaches your abs to work while your arms move, creating real-world functional strength.

How To

1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor 2. Engage your core and press your lower back into the ground 3. Slowly reach both arms toward the ceiling, then extend them back over your head 4. Keep your lower back pressed down throughout the entire floor reach movement 5. Return arms to starting position and repeat the floor reach for desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back glued to the floor throughout the entire floor reach movement • Move your arms slowly and with control - no rushing or bouncing • Breathe out as you reach back, breathe in as you return to start • Stop the floor reach if your back starts to arch off the ground

Common Mistakes

• Letting your lower back arch off the floor as you reach back • Moving your arms too fast and losing control during the floor reach • Holding your breath instead of breathing steadily through each floor reach rep
