Time for your Move It Monday! This week we are working on balance and hip flexor strength with the Airplane Pose! You may have done these before if you have done yoga. Several muscles work to stabilize you in this position including your hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps (standing leg), and shoulder and back muscles. It’s really a total body workout! Here’s how to do it:
1. Start by balancing on one leg, keeping it straight. A slight bend in the knee is ok
2. Lift the other leg behind you, making sure that leg stays straight
3. Lower the torso until it is parallel with the ground, or getting as close to that as possible
4. Raise the arms out to the sides
5. Keep your eyes focused on an un-moving spot on the ground slightly in front of you
6. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds and then switch sides. Work your way up to longer as you get stronger! Fido should stay beside you in a sit or down or get comfy like Carly here in the photo!
