STATIC BEAST DOWNWARD DOG

 
 

How To Perform Static Beast To Downward Dog (Modified Variation)

The Static Beast is a great bodyweight core exercise that challenges your upper body and core strength. This is a great beginner variation if you don't have a lot of hamstring or calf flexibility and still want to work your upper body!

Level/Difficulty: Beginner to Advanced

 
 

Coaching Cues:
Core engaged, push away from floor, knees can stay bent

Before starting:

As this is a modified variation, you don’t need to focus on having your legs straight, but do so if you’re able to.

  1. Position yourself on all fours, and retract your ribcage/push it towards the ceiling.

  2. Engage the core, then lift both knees slightly off the floor using your upper body strength.

  3. Push your body up and away from the floor, keeping your knees bent until your arms are straight and beside your ears. Slowly return your body to the start and repeat your reps.
