How it works

The program’s own rules, as Catalyst runs them.

Start in a high plank and bring one foot outside the hand on that side. Keep your front knee near a right angle, your rear leg extended and your back flat. Lower your elbow toward the inside of your front foot for about one second, then rotate and reach that arm toward the ceiling for about one second. Return under control and switch sides. Do five reps on each side. Keep the movement comfortable, stop for pain and seek professional changes when needed. Repeat on days you choose; there is no fixed weekly frequency or automatic progression.

What you need

No equipment needed.
