Main Progression:

Plank

  • Work up to a 30s hold then move on to your ring rollouts
  • You're only doing the planks, don't do every drill in the video.

Ring Ab Rollouts

  • Elbows should stay straight
  • Remain in a hollow body position (ribs down, butt tucked)
  • Keep your hands as close as your overhead mobility will allow.
  • Higher ring position will make this easier. Elevating the feet will make it harder.

Alternate Progressions:

Once you've reach a 30second plank you can choose one of alternative progression if you don't want to do Ring Rollouts:

Alternate Path 1:

Kneeling Ab Wheel Rollouts

  • Use a wall to shorten the ROM and make it easier. The further you are from the wall, the more difficult it becomes.
  • Keep a hollow body position (ribs down, butt tucked), brace your core, and squeeze your glutes.

Standing Ab Wheel Rollouts

  • Use a wall to shorten the ROM and make it easier. The further you are from the wall, the more difficult it becomes.
  • Keep a hollow body position (ribs down, butt tucked), brace your core, and squeeze your glutes.

Alternate Path 2:

Tucked Hanging Leg Raises

  • Remain in a passive hang and a hollow body position (ribs down, butt tucked)
  • To minimize swinging, keep your feet infront of your hips and pause for a second at the top and bottom of the movement.

Pike Hanging Leg Raises Negative

  • Perform a Tucked Leg Raise then straighten your legs and perform a straight legged negative.
  • Remain in a passive hang and a hollow body position (ribs down, butt tucked)
  • To minimize swinging, keep your feet infront of your hips and pause for a second at the top and bottom of the movement.

Straight Hanging Leg Raises

  • Remain in a passive hang and a hollow body position (ribs down, butt tucked)
  • To minimize swinging, keep your feet infront of your hips and pause for a second at the top and bottom of the movement.
