OBIETTIVI E BENEFICI
  • Shoulder girdle exercise, builds upper body strength
  • Opens & lengthens chest & upper back
  • Builds length in spine & overall control
CONSIGLI E TARTUAGGI
  • Heels on pedal are up; body leans forward like Going Up Front
  • Ideal version of Arm Springs on Cadillac is prerequisite for this exercise
  • Watch out for extension of spine during up & down, it’s only ‘icing’ at top
  • Cues: roll shoulders excessively back when elbows bend; only go down so far as you can keep shoulders on your back; deepen your low abs and lift your spine tall
