Instructions

Setup

  • Lie flat on your back on a mat.

  • Extend your arms straight overhead and legs straight out.

  • Engage your core to press your lower back firmly into the floor.

Movement

  • Start: With your lower back pressed down, lift both legs and your upper back slightly off the ground, keeping your body in a shallow 'hollow' curve.

  • Execution: While keeping the core completely rigid and low back against the mat, slowly lift your legs toward the ceiling until they are perpendicular to the floor.

  • Return: Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting hollow hold position without letting your lower back arch or leave the floor.

  • Maintain: Keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement; do not let your back leave the mat at any point.
