How to Do Dragon Flag

  1. Lie flat on your back on a bench, gripping the edge of the bench behind your head for stability.
  2. Lift your legs and torso off the ground, keeping your body in a straight line from shoulders to feet, creating a hollow position.
  3. Lower your legs and torso slowly, keeping your core engaged, until your back is just above the bench.
  4. Pause at the bottom, then raise your legs and torso back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Commentary

The dragon flag is a challenging core exercise that builds tremendous strength in the abs, lower back, and hip flexors. It requires full-body control and is a great test of core stability
