How to perform One-Leg Dragon Flag
- Lie face-up on a bench with a secure handhold behind your head, or on the floor in front of a fixed pole.
- Grip the anchor with both hands and keep the elbows bent, with the shoulders and upper back supported.
- Raise the hips toward vertical, tuck one knee toward the chest and extend the other leg in line with the torso.
- Lower the trunk and extended leg together without letting the waist sag or the pelvis twist.
- Pull against the anchor to raise the body again, maintaining the held trunk and one-leg shape rather than curling at the waist.
- Complete the planned repetitions, then lower to the support and reset with the other leg extended.
