Hold a seated tuck with your hips elevated and your knees pulled toward your chest, focusing on the abdominal muscles.
How to do the Tuck Sit Hold#
- Sit with knees bent and feet together.
- Lean back slightly and place your hands on the surface beside you for support.
- Lift your hips off the surface and pull your knees toward your chest into a tucked position.
- Brace your core and keep a neutral spine while maintaining the hold.
- Breathe evenly and hold the position for the chosen duration.
Muscles worked#
- Primary: Abs, Hip flexors
- Secondary: Triceps, Front delts, Lats
Common mistakes#
- Letting the lower back sag instead of maintaining a braced core.
- Using momentum to yank the knees in rather than holding the position.
- Tensing the neck or shrugging the shoulders up.
- Holding your breath during the hold.
