6. Weight Hollow Hold Scissor Kicks

Controlling a variety of different lower body movement patterns while maintaining a hollow body position requires practice.

We have shown drills before where we attempt to hold isometrics in the core and upper body while moving the lower body through patterns like flutter kicks and wipers. These scissor kicks are yet another pattern that can help grow your motor control in the hips all on top of a stable midline and a solid core workout.

Strong core and healthy shoulders are a difference maker in the fitness game. Do not underestimate the power of static bridges, planks, and their variations. A lot can be said for having positions like these in your strength and conditioning program year round.
