Attention shoe lovers! Ive partnered with @NewBalance and @DSWshoelovers to bring you THE NEW YEAR FIT LIST featuring the 7 moves you need to master in 2015. Today you’re going to learn about the Hollow-Body Hold. Its probably the best abs exercise you’ve never done! This is a foundational move in gymnastics that teaches you how to create total body tension from head to toe and it bulletproofs your back. Employing the hollow position on classic muscle-builders like push-ups and pull-ups will also make you stronger as the kinetic energy from the accessory muscles like your thighs, glutes, and groin radiate up to your working muscles. The key to properly executing this move is to assume a lying plank position with your legs and shoulders off the ground and your lower back firmly pressed flat into the floor. Begin with a more tucked body position and progress to extending your legs and arms away from each other. I like to say “make yourself into a hammock” as it’s a great visual to understand the shape you want your body to take. Here’s how to use this move to create a killer 5-minute abs workout you can do anytime, anywhere: perform a 30-second hollow-body hold immediately followed by a 30-second glute bridge for active recovery. That’s 1 round. Perform 5 total rounds. For more info, go here: blog.dsw/epic-shoe-love/get-fit-new-balance-bj-gaddour #ShoeLover #DSW #NewBalance #YourBodyIsYourBarbell #BJGaddour
