Description: Day 38 | Descending Ladder | 12-9-6-3

Start by performing 12 reps of each move for the first set, 9 for the second, 6 for the third, 3 for the fourth.

- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent and raise one leg off the floor
- Hinge at your hips, and lower your torso until it’s almost parallel to the floor
- Tap the floor and lift back up engaging your glutes

Tips:
- Start with feet parallel
- Core engaged and ribs over the pelvis, shoulders stacked on top of ribs
- Shift weight to the left foot, keeping the toes of the left foot light and heels
and toe mounds evenly distributing weight
- Tip your upper body forward and lift the right leg back - keeping the hips in
a straight line
- Avoid shifting the hips over to the left foot and allowing the right hip to open
up. Instead dial the right hip down so that it is facing the floor
- Squeeze left glute to stand back up to the starting position
- Repeat on the other side

Single leg deadlift / side

Tips:
- start with knees directly over the hips and wrists directly over the shoulders
spine is in a neutral position - which means the hips are on the ground, there is a small low back space then the bottom to top ribs are on the ground, shoulders
are on the ground, a small space/curve at the neck and the back of the head is on
the ground
- shoulders are away from the ears
- belly button pulled to the spine for more core engagement
- keeping the spine exactly where it started aka neutral - start straightening the left leg to the ground slowly and with control and the right arm behind you with
control
- tap the ground and then using that core control bring the arm and leg back to
their starting positions.
repeat on the other side

Bird Dogs / side

- Start in a high plank position 
- Take one hand off the floor and touch the opposite shoulder 
- Repeating on the opposite side

Tips:
- start out in a plank position but with a slightly wider foot stance for a wider base
much like the push up {move 2} the option to be on knuckles /fists instead of
wrists is there but try to do work towards an engaged palm- you achieve this by
spreading out the finger tips - pushing into the thumb mounds, the outer edges
of the hand and the pointer mounds of the hand leaving a little air pocket in the
very centre of the hand.
- activate the core by tucking the pelvis under - this keeps you from dropping
your low back and over-exaggerating your lumbar curve and keeps the spine in a neutral positon
- push the ground away to activate the shoulders and separate the shoulder blades
- squeeze the glutes about 40%
- keep the core active to counter balance and keep the hips even as you bring your
right hand to left shoulder - bring the hand back down and activate through the
palm and then repeat on the other side
