Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Avoid collapsing into the supporting shoulder — actively press the floor away.
  3. 3. Think of the spine as a table: every rep tests whether items on the table slide.

Regression:

Use a 4-point bear plank hold for a static duration before adding any limb movement.

Progression:

Increase the lever arm — extend limbs further before adding load or movement.

Common Problems:

Head drooping — keep eyes looking down and slightly forward to maintain cervical neutral.
