Tabletop Hover

An advanced core and shoulder stability challenge that lifts the knees just off the floor for a demanding, whole-body isometric hold.

Ways to adjust it

• Use Tabletop: Classic instead
• Fists
• Forearm support instead
• One knee forward modification
• Blanket under knees

If this one is too much today

Try the gentler version instead. It asks less of you and does much the same work.

• Tabletop: Classic

Before you try it

Move within a range that stays comfortable. Stop if this brings on sharp pain, dizziness, or symptoms that travel down an arm or a leg, and speak to a clinician before repeating it.
