2) The Quadruped Vacuum
The quadruped vacuum exercise is the next exercise which you should perform once you are through the supine vacuum exercise. It seems a little bit more difficult because here the body weight is transferred to your hands and knees and you lie against the gravity. You can proceed with the quadruped vacuum just after performing 60 seconds on the supine vacuum exercise.
