Listen to the instructions

How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 8

Description: In a standing position, maintain stability and perform a controlled movement by dissociating the upper body (scapular belt) from the lower body (pelvic belt) by moving your hands in opposite directions. Keep the trunk engaged to maintain balance and hip stability throughout the exercise.

Tips: Focus on slow and precise movements to clearly feel the dissociation between the belts. Breathe calmly and avoid compensating with the lower back.

Progression: Gradually increase the movement speed or add slight resistance with elastic bands as control becomes easier.
