Hollow rock

Rock back and forth while locked in a hollow position, training the abs to stay rigid in motion.

How to do it

  1. 01Get into a hollow hold: lower back down, arms and legs straight and off the floor.
  2. 02Lock that shape by bracing your abs and keeping your ribs down.
  3. 03Rock toward your shoulders and then toward your hips like a rocking boat; each rock is one rep.
  4. 04Keep a steady rhythm without bending at the hips or relaxing between reps.

Common mistakes

  • Bending at the hips or kicking for momentum — stay rigid and rock as one piece.
  • Losing the hollow and arching — shrink the rock or go back to hollow holds.
  • Hands or feet touching the floor — keep them lifted throughout.
