Which exercise teaches Spinal Mobility on the Trapeze/Table?

• A. Push Through Seated Front
• B. Scapula Glides
• C. Footwork: Bend and Flex
• D. Swan on the Push Through Bar

Answer: (A)

Spinal mobility on the trapeze/table is built by guiding the spine through controlled flexion and extension with the pelvis stabilized, so the body learns to articulate each segment rather than compensating with the hips or shoulders. Push Through Seated Front invites you to sit at the edge of the table, reach forward, and push the bar—this setup creates a safe pathway to lengthen the spine as you hinge forward and then re-extend as you sit tall again. The movement sequence promotes awareness of how the thoracic and lumbar regions articulate, helping you move the spine segment by segment while maintaining neutral pelvis and shoulder position. The apparatus provides cues and resistance that encourage proper alignment and a smooth, gradual range of motion, which is ideal for developing spinal mobility on the Trapeze/Table. Scapula glides, by contrast, emphasizes shoulder blade movement; Footwork focuses on the legs; and Swan on the Push Through Bar centers more on back extension in a different position, not the seated trunk articulation this exercise targets.
