    I started adding instability to his bridge. I think he’s doing well and is ready to progress. If you agree, should I raise the unstable piece or start with a taller stable piece first? Here’s our 3rd set of 20 seconds from today’s work:

    • Coach Leslie says:

      This is looking great. I would add instability to the other half (rear legs in the first part, front legs in the second part). For Bridge, height isn’t going to make it more difficult the way it does for Paws Up or Paws Down.

    Hi. We were a very late start to the program, then Timber got a gastrocnemius pull and was out for > 4 months. During the end of that time, I did start a fitness program with my vet. I understood you don’t do rehab stuff, so waited until we were totally released from rehab. The vet did have me do some conditioning exercise, including building up to unstable equipment. I am attaching some recent videos I sent to the vet for several of my exercises, including the bridge on the large fit bone. I am also posting videos for the tuck sit to kickback stand and fold back down to stand, but will post them in the appropriate discussion section. Thanks. https://youtu.be/rVLyCNTdtEw

    Hi Leslie – here is Matirx and Yowza doing the Bridge exercise, 3 sets of 30 sec. I thought they did quite well – except that I noticed that Matrix splayed his back feet a little in the last 30s, so I am wondering if that was due to fatigue. Yowza (23m) also had trouble with her back feet – so I am wondering if I should go back to using a solid platform for their back feet.

    Hi Leslie – here is our first video of the bridge. We’ve worked this with other equipment but wanted to get Karma used to her NEW paw disc. Hope there is enough air, a couple times the hole plugger shot out when she stepped on the discs but I quickly plugged them back up………..lmk what you think.

  • Christina And Ripley says:

    I did this for the first time today with Ripley. I’m curious if you think she’s ready to have instability equipment to target front and rear at the same time or if I should just stick to this set up for awhile yet.

  • Sandy & Karma says:

    So I do have 2 fitbones…..I never seem to be able to get the right amount of air in them…….remind me are the easier with more air or less air, and then gradually increase/decrease that amount???

  • Sandy & Karma says:

    Not understanding assignment #11????? Tried reading it several times and it is not making sense????

    • Carol R says:

      Sandy, I might be wrong, but I am reading #11 as being on the equipment,holding good posture, for 30 sec and working up to to 3 sets. Then a 30 sec “ rest “ off the equipment inbetween sets, but also maintaining good posture during that “ rest “ time. Will be interested to see what Coach Leslie says.

      • Coach Leslie says:

        Yes, I think I missed some punctuation. I was trying to say 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. Do that a total of 3 times. It is important to maintain good posture on and off. But your ‘off’ can also be a sit or down in good posture if needed.
