Rolling with Knee Touch
This awareness drill allows an opportunity to produce an increased challenge to the rolling pattern that contributes to core control.
Set-up: Begin lying on your back with arms comfortably at your sides. Flex one hip bringing the knee perpendicular to the ground and reach with the opposite side hand to touch the inside of the knee. You will maintain contact with the knee through the entire movement.
Action: While lifting the head and looking up at a 45-degree angle, reach across and up on a 45-degree angle with the down arm. Continue to reach until you have completed a roll to the stomach with the reaching arm overhead.
Return: After cycling a breath roll back to the starting position by lifting the head and looking across and down on the 45-degree angle while reaching with the same arm on the same angle. Switch arms and repeat on the opposite side/direction.
