Dragon Flag

How to do it

1. Lie on your back on a sturdy elevated surface and grip behind your head for a fixed anchor point.
2. Brace the core and lift the hips and legs off the surface until only the upper back and shoulders remain in contact.
3. Keep the entire body in one straight line from shoulders to feet as you lower slowly toward the surface.
4. Stop just before the hips or legs touch down, then reverse the motion back to the raised position.
5. Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower under control.
6. A common fault is letting the hips sag or bend at the waist, keep the line rigid from shoulders to feet throughout.
