Here she does an Inverted hang:
Inverted ring hangs deliver a full-body workout, targeting multiple muscle groups. This exercise builds strength and endurance in the lats, biceps, trapezius, rhomboids, and core muscles (abs, erector spinae, and pelvic floor). It also engages glutes and hamstrings, improving overall lower body stability. Additionally, inverted ring hangs enhance grip strength, flexibility (shoulders, back, hips), spatial awareness, and body control. Regular practice can lead to improved posture, reduced back pain, and increased overall athletic performance."

Another sneak peak into the benefits of our static/straight arm side of the programs:

A tucked front lever primarily engages the following muscle groups:

*Primary Muscle Groups:*

1. *Latissimus Dorsi*: Mainly responsible for maintaining the lever position.
2. *Shoulder stabilizers*:
- Rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis)
- Maintains shoulder joint stability.
3. *Core muscles*:
- Re**us abdominis
- Obliques
- Transverse abdominis
- Maintains body alignment and stability.
4. *Upper back muscles*:
- Trapezius
- Rhomboids
- Supports posture and prevents swayback.
5. *Biceps*: Assists in maintaining the tucked position.

*Secondary Muscle Groups:*

1. *Rear deltoids*: Supports shoulder movement.
2. *Teres major*: Assists in adduction.
3. *Pectoralis major*: Helps maintain chest position.
4. *Serratus anterior*: Supports scapular rotation.
5. *Glutes*: Maintains hip alignment.

*Additional Muscle Engagement:*

1. Forearm muscles (brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis brevis)
2. Lower back muscles (erector spinae, quadratus lumborum)

The tucked front lever exercise requires engagement of the entire core, upper back, and shoulder stabilizers to maintain control and stability.
