Favourite CORE Exercise // School of Calisthenics
These core sliders are my favourite core exercise at the moment, whether using the core sliding discs or simply using your socks the connection you have to maintain to keep that spine neutral means the core muscles, hip flexors and shoulder have to work together to control the movement and your body position. Everything we want the core to be able to do in calisthenics and functional movements.

Frog to HANDSTAND Transition HELP! [Banded] // School of Calisthenics
The transition from the frogstand into the handstand can be the most tricky and frustrating step! The 'stepping stone' is the tuck handstand or as we like to call it the 'Stevenson Chair!'. It requires pushing strength from the shoulders and triceps but also the control to manage the rotation as we take the hips and rotate them to stack on top of the shoulder and hands.
To help with both the strength and the control the band assistance 'tool' or progression is one that we love to use with student to not only help develop the strength but when set up correctly as in the video it help guide the movement and provide some stability and control to the hips.
