How to do it

Setup

Feet in the straps, hands on the floor, plank line set.

Steps

  1. Draw the knees to the chest.
  2. Hips stay level – no piking.
  3. Extend back to the hollow plank.

Common mistakes

Swinging in the straps: pause at both ends. Hips lifting: that is the pike, another exercise. Shoulders drifting: stacked over the wrists.

Breathing

Exhale on the tuck, inhale extending.
