Floor Angel

Exercise Overview

This is a posture and upper back and shoulder strengthening exercise. This is also an effort-level based exercise - the more effort you put into it the more difficult the exercise becomes. Lie down on your back in crook position (knees bent with feet flat on the floor). Keep your arms next to your body at 90 degrees shoulder abduction and anchor your elbows and wrists to the floor. Slide your forearm along the floor to an overhead position while maintaining floor contact with your elbows and wrists. Return back to starting position to complete a repetition.
