Our focus for this workout brings us to prone position: we'll engage our back muscles to assist in upper body control, stability & posture. It's important to balance out the many abdominal-focused exercises we do as Irish dancers for core strength by evening out those exercises with back muscle toning. We'll also throw in a quick shoulder and arm series. [Additionally, this workout notes that our low back area is the most commonly injured part of our back, so we feel that it's important to include back toning exercises as part of our injury prevention goals.]
