Half Hanging Cadillac

9 Modifications For Half Hanging On Cadillac Exercise

Here are nine modifications for Half Hanging On Cadillac Exercise:

Modification 1: Single-Leg Variation
Place only one foot in a fuzzy loop while the other leg remains extended on the table. This increases the challenge to your core and stabilising muscles. Alternate legs to ensure balanced strength and flexibility.

Modification 2: Pelvic Tilts
Once your feet are in the fuzzy loops and your hips are lifted, perform gentle pelvic tilts by rocking your pelvis up and down. This movement engages your lower abdominal muscles and enhances the stretch in your lower back and hamstrings.

Modification 3: Arm Extensions
As you lie back with your hips lifted and feet in the loops, extend your arms overhead or out to the sides. This adds a stretch for your upper body and increases the engagement of your core and shoulder muscles, enhancing overall stability.

Modification 4: Bicycle Legs
Once your feet are secure in the fuzzy loops and your hips are lifted, alternate bringing your knees towards your chest in a cycling motion. This modification targets your lower abs and hip flexors while maintaining core engagement.

Modification 5: Leg Circles
With your hips lifted, draw circles with your legs in the air. Start with small circles and gradually increase the size. This variation works on hip mobility and core stability.

Modification 6: Scissor Kicks
In the lifted position, alternate lowering one leg towards the table while the other leg stays raised, mimicking a scissor motion. This exercise emphasises the lower abdominal muscles and challenges your coordination.

Modification 7: Torso Twists
While keeping your hips lifted and stable, gently rotate your torso from side to side. This modification targets the oblique muscles and enhances spinal mobility.

Modification 8: Bridge Marches
With your feet in the fuzzy loops and hips lifted, perform a marching motion by lifting one knee towards your chest and then alternating sides. This dynamic movement engages your core and hip stabilisers.

Modification 9: Elevated Pelvic Lifts
Start with your hips slightly lowered, then lift your pelvis higher, squeezing your glutes at the top. Lower back down and repeat. This movement focuses on glute and lower back strengthening.
