How To do the Floating Scorpion
Dec 9, 2025
Description
Although floating scorpion is primarily a flowy movement, it has numerous muscular and nervous system benefits. These benefits include:
Coordination: it's difficult to rotate the core and move the legs properly at first but you will get better at it. Also shifting the weight isn't easy.
Upper body shoulder stability (beginner): the beginner variation is done with straight arms and you need to hold yourself up the entire time.
Upper body strength (advanced): in the advanced variation you are basically doing low single-arm archer push up - this is tough!
Rotational spine strength and mobility: your core is continuously rotating.
Core strength: holding yourself in the plank position gets tough pretty quick.
