\Bak Extension Prone - ANS - Prone, arms by sides palms pressing into sides,
feet gently pointed.
Exhale: lift head, upper trunk off mat.
Inhale: slowly lower
Target: spinal extensors
\Biceps Brachii - ANS - Elbow flexion

\Cartilaginous Joint - ANS - Slightly moveable joint. Ie: manumbrium to sternum.
\Cat Stretch - ANS - ...
\Cervical Lordosis - ANS - Exageration of cervical spine. Often with forward head.
\Chest Lift - ANS - Supine, knees bent, hands interlaced behind head, chin tilted
toward chest.
Exhale: curl head and upper trunk off mat
Inhale: pause
Exhale: slowly lower
, Target: spinal flexors
\Chest Lift with Rotation - ANS - Supine, knees up... hands interlaced behind head
Exhale: curl head and upper trunk off mat
Inhale: pause
Exhale: rotate upper trunk to one side
Inhale: rotate back to center
Target: spinal flexors and rotators
\Closed Chain - ANS - End of chain is fixed (push up).
\Cocontraction - ANS - Agonist and antagonist contract together to stabilize
movement.
\Cocontraction - ANS - Agonist and Antagonist work together. Ie: Abdominals and
spinal extensors during hundred.
\Concentric Muscle Contraction - ANS - Type of dynamic contraction. where angle
of movement gets smaller. Ie: beginning of chest lift.
