Exercise 1 – Tucked Hold
The first progression exercise will be the Tucked Hold. Place your hands on the ground, or on parallettes, and lift yourself up. It is very important to depress your shoulders. This means that you have to create some space between your shoulders and neck when pushing into the ground or parallettes. The next step is to tuck your knees in and push yourself up. Try to hold this position for 5 seconds in the first place. Are you able to hold the Tucked Hold for 5 seconds? Then try 10 and 15 seconds!
