Spread your fingers, and pretend you are suctioning or screwing your hands and fingers to the floor. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Before each rep, take a deep breath in (360 degrees of air around your spine), brace your core (360 degree brace around your spine), and tuck your ribs towards your hips (close the space in your midsection). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Now lead with your heel and extend one leg backwards, and simultaneously reach forward with your opposite arm. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Pause for a count when you are in this extended position, and really squeeze\/flex your glutes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Return your arm and leg to the starting position.
