This exercise strengthens the muscles of the rotator cuff, the erector spinae and the deep stabilizers of the torso and lumbo-pelvic hip complex.

Be careful not to sink into the shoulders and to maintain a lengthened spine in this position. You’ll tone and flatten the abdominal muscles and increase flexibility of the hamstrings.
