The human flag is an exercise where the body is lifted parallel to the ground, supported by a vertical bar to make the arms and body aligned in a straight line. The human flag also known as bar hold requires abundant upper body strength.
Steps to do a Human Flag:
According to GMB Fitness, here’s how you can practise a human flag pose:
Step 1: Support Press – Hold an overhead bar with one hand and a vertical bar with another. Make sure your arms are straight as you lift your feet off the ground to 45-degrees.
Step 2: Chamber Hold – Hold the poles and kick your legs up into the air, tuck your knees by bringing them close to your body.
Step 3: Vertical Flag – Start from the chamber hold position and slowly straighten your legs.
Step 4: Bend Your Knees – From the vertical flag position, with one or both knees bent, slowly lower your hips.
