FRONTAL PLANE COGS

​

JUST LIKE THE COGS IN A MACHINE, YOUR BODY HAS MANY SETS OF IT’S OWN. ADJOINING PARTS THAT WORK SIMULTANEOUSLY BUT IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS TO ONE ANOTHER. THIS EXERCISE IS A SYNCING EXERCISE FOR THE SKILL, TRUNK, PELVIS AND FEET. 

​

​

​

SET UP:

Stand with you feet shoulder width apart and your arms by your sides

​

INDIVIDUAL MOVEMENTS:

​

Pelvis: Bend you left knee which will drop the left side pelvis and hiking your pelvis on the right, the switch it over by bending your right knee

​

Trunk: Drop your right shoulder towards the ground, creating a ‘C’ shape in your right side waist, then drop your left shoulder

​

Skull: Your skull should stay level with your eyes focused forward. But you can slightly drop your left ear towards your shoulder, then drop your right ear towards your right shoulder.

** Take care not to move your pelvis or ribs sideways **
