Description: Hollow body hold

A hollow body hold is an isometric exercise that involves flexing your core muscles while remaining in a static position. Perform hollow body holds by lying flat on your back. With your upper body, lift your arms overhead and raise your shoulder blades off the floor.

How To Do A Hollow Hold
Start lying on back with with your arms extended overhead on floor and legs straight resting on mat.
At the same time, and with control, lift arms, head, shoulder blades, and legs off the floor.
Hold for 20 seconds then return to starting position. Rest for 10 seconds.
Pro tip: Don't arch you back. Keep it sealed to the mat even if that means lifting your legs and arms higher until your core is stronger. A stable back is key to doing this move correctly.
