Downdog to Plank: Your White Label Exercise Explainer of the Week

Downdog & plank …  both poses are so good on their own, but when you combine them and flow seamlessly between them, you get pure greatness! 🚀

This week’s White Label Exercise Explainer is just that – Downdog to Plank – moving from one to the other.  Working the core, shoulders, quads, glutes … stretching out the full body … and rocking this awesome move!

Let’s break it down, step by step, ensuring your clients master each move with impeccable form and technique:

Downdog … aka Downward Facing Dog:

Form: Start strong in a high plank position, hands shoulder-width apart, and feet hip-width apart. As you lift your hips up and back, visualize forming an inverted V with your body.

Coaching Cues: Emphasize the importance of pressing through the palms, lengthening the spine, and engaging the core for stability. Keep those heels reaching towards the ground while maintaining a gentle bend in the knees.

Common Mistakes: Watch out for any arching of the back or locked elbows. Remind your clients to keep that back flat and those elbows soft to avoid strain.

Plank Pose:

Form: Transition smoothly into a high plank, aligning shoulders over wrists and creating a straight line from head to heels.

Coaching Cues: Encourage activation of the core, glutes, and thighs to maintain a solid plank. Ensure the neck stays in line with the spine, with a gaze slightly forward.

Common Mistakes: Be on the lookout for sagging hips or a rounded upper back. Cue your clients to engage the muscles, protracting the shoulder blades, and maintaining a strong upper body position.

How to Combine them together into 1 seamless, awesome move:

Smooth Movement: Guide your clients through the transition with grace and control, initiating from the core & hips.

Coaching Cues: Stress the importance of initiating the movement from the center, drawing the belly button towards the spine as they shift forward into Plank, then lifting the tailbone up as they press up & back into downdog.

Common Mistakes: Watch for jerky movements or loss of core engagement during the transition. Encourage mindfulness, control and stability throughout.

This is an absolutely delicious move – that I know your clients are going to LOVE  💪✨
