It’s essentially a combination of a hollow body position + sit-up + leg raise. This movement is considered a step up from the sit-up and flutter kicks as it trains the abdominals and the hip flexors in a dynamic movement through a large range of motion.
Benefits
- Builds midline strength focussing on the abdominals and deeper core stabilizers.
- Builds hip flexor strength
- Trains timing between upper and lower body, therefore focussing on co-ordination
- Reinforces hollow body mechanics, helping with kipping pull-ups, toes-to-bar, and muscle-ups.
- No equipment required, effective with just bodyweight.
- Scalable & Progressive, easy to regress or progress depending on level.
Set Up
- Lie flat on your bac...
