Drill 3

Pike Drag Ups with a Forward Roll

  • Have a slider or paper plate available to use.

  • Start in a push up position with good shape

  • Place your toes on the slider or plate.

  • Using your abdominal muscles, pull your feet towards you hands, dragging them across the floor. Maintain straight legs.

  • When you get to a pike position, tuck your head to look at your belly and complete a forward roll. *This action is for strong shoulders and learning the correct vertical position. It will also help you with your handstand forward roll!

  • If you feel that you do not have enough control to do the forward roll safely you can do the move without the forward roll. SAFETY is most important!

  • Repeat 12 times
