@dontdosadness I'm super happy to have found this guide. I know the point of this is to learn the technique, but I can see myself having more strength and control with these exercises. Even though I'm doing the modified push ups (and I know there's no issue with that bc it's an individual journey), I'm looking forward to trying this regime again with the standard push ups. :0
Something I just realized, maybe I'm speaking too soon with my personal experience but I found that the dead bugs weren't as tricky for me right off the bat, and in retrospect, I found myself in moments where diaphragm breathing came up. I'm not a vocalist (I'm a visual artist, lots of sitting lol) but I remember growing up that music teachers and friends would do breathing exercises.
Interesting how there are moments where advice applicable to bodyweight fitness can pop up, even if your everyday life may not center on bodyweight fitness.
