DRAGON FLAG
An exercise made famous by martial arts legend Bruce Lee and launched into the mainstream by the Rocky IV training
montage. The dragon flag incorporates pretty much all of the principles described above to train the muscles of the core in
a way very few other exercises can.
Only to be attempted
once you’ve mastered most other exercises, the dragon flag involves lying on the floor while holding on to something stable with your hands by your head. Then with only your head and shoulders in contact with the floor, raise your entire body from the floor and— keeping as straight aspossible—lower yourself to the ground.
Pause for one second at the bottom of the exercise and then return back to an upright position, all the time ensuring only your head and shoulders are in contact with the floor.
