Fine-tuning popular exercises to help you get more out of them is one of my favorite things to do.
A few adjustments can give an old exercise a whole new perspective and make it feel brand new.
And that’s what we’re doing in today’s video with an exercise commonly called the Bird Dog.
I'll show you how to apply the mid-back exercise from my last post to this well-known move to build mid-back strength, create scapular stability, and relieve wrist pain.
You’ll have to go slowly at first as you get used to this different approach to the Bird Dog, but I think you’re going to like what you find when you do.
I can’t wait to hear how it goes! Make sure and let me know in the comments below.
Forever fine-tuning,
Sydney
