This exercise is a must for beginner athletes and those coming back to training after injury. This exercise strengthens the core functionally and leaves you with a good technique and prepared for more difficult tricks.
A hollow body position in hanging is crucial to maintain the integrity of the body. This body engagement builds the base for the limbs to move, and the core is an important factor to connect all movements. This is why a good core engagement also plays a role in shoulder health.
