How to do Cat Pose

Back to Exercises

Difficulty: Easy

Impact Level: Low

Target Body Parts: abs, upper back, lower back

Instructions

Start on your hands and knees with your knees beneath your hips and your palms beneath your shoulders. Activate your core by pulling your belly into your spine. Press into your palms and start to arch into your spine. Let your head drop and gaze towards your belly button. Keeping the core active come back to neutral.

In the neutral position that you start in and end in, a common mistake is to allow the back to sag and the belly to soften. Instead, ensure your core stays active and back is flat.
