Bird Dog

The Bird Dog exercise is excellent for enhancing core stability, balance, and coordination. Common mistakes include arching the back and not keeping the head aligned with the spine. Focus on engaging the core and moving slowly to maintain control. Beginners should start by lifting only the arm or leg until balance improves. To increase difficulty, add a pause at the top of the movement or use ankle and wrist weights. Ideal for all fitness levels, Bird Dog can be incorporated into warm-ups or core workouts, helping to improve posture and reduce the risk of back injuries.
