b. Cable rotation
c. Rolling active resistance row
d. Cable chop

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Quadruped arm and opposite leg raise

Explanation:

Quadruped arm and opposite leg lift

- Kneel on the floor, lean forward and place your hands down.

- Keep your knees in line with your hips and hands directly under your shoulders.

- Simultaneously raise one arm and extend the opposite leg, so that they are in line with the spine.

- Go back to the starting position.

This method is usually used as an alternative to iso-abs exercise or also known as a bridge, which allows you to exercise the abdominal and spinal area at the same time.

It is also used together with other exercises for the treatment of hyperlordosis.
