MC PLANK!
With practice and repetition, this increases our range of motion, builds strength and allows us to achieve a full push-up with confidence!
This tutorial begins with diaphragmatic breathing and a gentle Cat/Cow stretch, using the circle as a reference to encourage greater awareness of the diaphragm and therefore, the pelvic floor.
In a high-kneeling position, we use the circle to connect to the body’s midline, whilst exploring challenging thigh-stretch variations.

We then move into plank, where the circle helps us establish a defined back line and ribcage organisation. The circle facilitates the downward phase of the push-up, giving us more time to focus on scapulae stability and technique.
