A bodyweight core-stability hold performed from a quadruped position with the knees hovering close to the floor. It trains the abdominals, shoulders, and quadriceps while developing full-body control.
Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
Tuck your toes under and lift your knees off the ground, keeping them bent at a 90-degree angle.
Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
Keep your back flat and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
Hold this position for the desired amount of time, ensuring steady breathing.
Focus on keeping your core tight to prevent sagging or arching of the back.
Ensure your shoulders are directly over your wrists to maintain proper alignment.
Keep your gaze slightly forward to help maintain a neutral neck position.
If you feel strain in your lower back, reset your position and engage your core more actively.
Start with shorter holds and gradually increase the duration as you build strength.
