2 Point Stability Position for Core Training

KIRK VICKERS: The last two movements you saw were three-point stability. This is going to be a little more challenging. This is going to be two-point stability. What we're going to do is we're going to go back into that straight-spine position that--what we call that plank position and we're going to only have two points of contact. We're going to use the opposite arm and opposite leg, and I'll show you here in just a second. I'll demonstrate that for you. Again, this is much more advanced than just the three-point stability. You do not want to do this if you cannot master the three-point stability. And you should be able to master the three-point stability with the arms and the legs. This movement here, we're going to go here, lift one leg and one arm and hold it there. Try to stabilize, keeping that straight. Don't let your body turn. Stay up on the toe, nice, straight position with the arm up. The arm raised about as high as the head, the leg straight out, hold that position, and then we'll change and go to the other side holding that for 15-, 10- to 15- to 30-second count or however long you can maintain that position.
