What is the first step in the transition from Saw 1 Neck Roll to Shoulder Bridge Prep?

The transition from Saw 1 Neck Roll to Shoulder Bridge Prep involves a series of movements that prepare the body for the next exercise safely and effectively. Lying prone with the hands under the forehead is a crucial step because it helps to align the spine and engage the core muscles in preparation for the Shoulder Bridge Prep.

This position also allows for proper spinal articulation and maintaining a neutral pelvis, which is essential before moving into the shoulder bridge. By starting in this position, it ensures that the practitioner can focus on engaging the correct muscles needed for the upcoming exercise, reducing the risk of strain or injury.

In contrast, the other options involve movements or positions that would not provide the necessary foundation or alignment for transitioning effectively into the Shoulder Bridge Prep, which relies on a well-prepared core and stable base.
