Exercise Description

The hollow body hold exercise builds rock-solid core strength and teaches total body tension. It's the foundation move that makes every other exercise stronger.

How To

1. Lie flat on your back with arms overhead and legs straight 2. Press your lower back into the floor and engage your abs 3. Lift your shoulders and legs off the ground for the hollow body hold position 4. Keep your hollow body hold tight - no gaps between your back and floor 5. Hold this position for 20-60 seconds while breathing steadily

Form Tips

• Keep constant pressure between your lower back and the floor during the hollow body hold • Start with knees bent if the full position is too hard • Focus on quality over time - perfect form beats sloppy long holds • Keep your chin tucked and look toward your belly button

Common Mistakes

• Letting your lower back arch off the floor ruins the hollow body hold • Holding your breath - you need to breathe normally throughout the hold • Starting too advanced - master bent knees before trying straight legs in your hollow body hold
