Hollow Drags

Description:

Hollow Drags are common core exercises used by gymnasts to develop core and upper body strength.  This exercise requires a flat/slidable object to be placed under the feet (frisbee or equivalent).  The midsection must remain tight throughout the entire exercise, particularly when reaching out with the hands.

Process:

• place a slidable object under feet and get into a pushup position
• engage core and ensure that shoulders are directly over the elbows and hands
• head should be neutral
• without breaking position, move hands to crawl across the floor
