Move of the week: build serious core strength in no time with a hollow hold

By Miranda Larbi

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: hollow hold. 

Unless we’re doing yin yoga, most of the time, we’re busy doing dynamic exercises. And that’s because most fitness benefits come from getting the heart rate racing. But occasionally, you come across a move that tests even the strongest body… by staying completely still.

The hollow hold is such a move. It’s one of the hardest core exercises out there, but once you’ve nailed it, you’ll find that plank, bird dog and scissors become infinitely easier.
