Arch Hold

Explanatory Video(2)

Description

Lay face down on the floor with your arms extended overhead and legs straight. Simultaneously lift your chest, arms, and legs off the ground by contracting your glutes and lower back muscles. Keep your neck in a neutral position by looking at the floor. Focus on creating a long 'banana' shape with your body, maintaining tension throughout your entire posterior chain without excessively arching only at the lower back.
