Technique

How to perform Quadruped Adductor Rockback

  1. Start on hands and knees, then extend one leg out to the side with its knee straight and foot supported.
  2. Keep both hands planted and your chest facing the floor as you move your hips back toward the supporting heel.
  3. Stop at a comfortable inner-thigh stretch without rounding the lower back or rotating the chest, then move your hips forward again.
  4. Repeat the controlled rockback, then bring the extended leg in and change sides. This basic version has no added chest rotation or arm lift.
