Now that we have established how to “stack” rib cage over pelvis let’s move the legs as we maintain the ‘stack’. This requires abdominal muscle stability to keep the rib cage and pelvis in position. You can use a paper plate to perform the leg extension on a wood floor or rug, your sock or a folded washcloth works on wood floors.
Repeat the slide 10x on each leg. I recommend doing 3 sets. This movement is a great way to strengthen your core, allowing you to come to neutral when standing or seated.
Why Do This?
The movement will help you develop core strength AND independence between leg and torso. These two things will help you to be more grounded in your playing or singing!
