Bear Hold

Core

The bear hold is core and shoulder work that goes hard without demanding a barbell or fancy equipment. Get down on your hands and feet with knees bent and hovering just above the floor. Your hands should be under your shoulders, feet hip-width apart, and your core braced tight. Keep your hips level and your head neutral. This is a muscular hold, not a rest. Your core, shoulders, and legs should all be working. Stay in the position and breathe steadily.
