Forward Fold with Hollow-Body Ribcage Engagement

Walk hands back to feet, clasp opposite elbows, let the crown hang, and actively draw navel and front ribs in like a corset to train the forward-fold compression.

Key points

  • Lift sit bones and engage quadriceps to open hamstrings
  • Knit lower ribs in like a tight corset and pull navel to spine
  • Hollow out the front body to lengthen the posterior chain

Common mistakes

Letting the belly hang relaxed without engaging core compression.
