Single Arm 3 Point Stability Position for Core Training

Video Transcript

"KIRK VICKERS: The next movement that we're going to do in our series of core exercises is what we call a three-point stability position. We're going to go here. We're going to take our hands off, as if we're going into a push-up position, bring our knees off the ground. We want to be about shoulder-width apart here, not too far out because we're going to put too much load on the shoulder. We're just under and outside our shoulder, and then I'm going to raise one arm, keeping our hips nice and level with the spine and the rest of the body. We can hold that for 10 as much as a 30-count. You're going to feel some shaking in the arm. That's what we want. We're developing total-body stability through this position here. We can bring it down and then go with the other arm doing the same thing, holding that for 10 to as much as a 30-count if you can and come down. Again, watch the back. Look for sagging at the back. We don't want sagging at the back. We don't want a lot of rotation at the hips. We're trying to look for a straight out. We don't want our arm out this way. We want to keep it in straight alignment. It's a fairly advanced movement."
