Hollow Body Tuck (male)

Hollow Body Tuck demonstration gif

Instructions:

  • 1Lie flat on your back on the floor
  • 2PULL your navel down toward your spine (this is the 'hollow' position)
  • 3Lift your arms, your head and your legs off of the floor, and hold this position
  • 4Bring your knees toward your chest and bring your arms forward, tucking your body into a small ball
  • 5Hold this position, focus on keeping your core tight

Tips:

  • Keep your lower back flat on the floor during the whole exercise
  • Focus on quality not quantity. It's better to do a few reps with good form than many with bad form
  • Remember to continue breathing even when holding the tuck position
  • Try to make sure your lifting comes more from your core than your hip flexors
