Next up on my list of weird and wonderful ab exercises in the name of research was possibly the hardest one yet — my core was in for a beating as I reluctantly said yes to attempting the dragon flag exercise every day.

Firstly, it’s worth noting that what works for me might not be right for you and your body. If you’re new to exercise, or you’re returning to exercise following an injury, it’s a good idea to check your form with a personal trainer and build up to trying this exercise. This one places a lot of strain on your joints, so is definitely not one for beginners.
