Rogue athlete Arielle Loewen demonstrates proper form for Tuck Ups in this quick and simple movement demo from Rogue HQ. The tuck-up is a bodyweight core exercise where you lie flat and then simultaneously lift your knees to your chest and arms forward, folding into a tucked position. It mimics the compression required in gymnastics movements (like kipping, T2B, or muscle-ups) but in a simplified way. The movement is actually a regression of the v-up, but is considered a key movement to help develop core strength and control and is a gateway movement to the like of many kipping movements including toes to bar. 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. - Easier than the V-Up since knees bend, shortening the lever. - No equipment re...
