The goal of this exercise is to build thoracic stability through the serratus anterior rhomboid complex at the T4 region. Start by lying down on your stomach with your elbows are ear height. Press downwards into the floor using your fingers, palms, forearms, and elbows. Raise the trunk off the floor but keep the pelvis planted on the floor and legs relaxed.
