Exercise of the Week

Pointer Exercise

By Joni Hyde of WorkoutsForWomen.com

A strong back is great foundation for a strong active body. Performing the Pointer Exercise promotes core strength and balance which prevents injury and prepares your body to handle day to day lifting activities.

Kneel on a mat with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees directly under your hips.

  • Lift your right arm straight out in front while simultaneously lifting your left leg straight behind you.
  • Hold this position for five seconds.
  • Then in a slow controlled manner return to start position.

Alternate sides. Repeat a total of 5 times on each side.

Keep your abdominal muscles tight and keep your neck in line with the spine, when your arm and leg are in the extended position. Breath normally throughout the movement.
