How to Do the Perfect Hollow Body Hold (Complete Guide)
Want to master the hollow body hold — the foundation of advanced core strength? You're in the right place.
Perfect Hollow Body Hold Technique
The hollow body hold is a fundamental gymnastics exercise that builds incredible core strength, body awareness, and postural control. This position teaches the hollow body shape essential for advanced calisthenics skills and creates a strong foundation for all movement patterns. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect positioning and optimal core engagement.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position:Lie on your back with arms extended overhead, legs straight and together
- Core Engagement:Press lower back into the ground by engaging deep core muscles
- Lift Off:Simultaneously lift shoulders and legs off ground, maintaining lower back contact
- Hold Position:Create a "banana" or "boat" shape, balancing on lower back only
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing lower back to arch off the ground
- Lifting shoulders or legs too high (easier position)
