Elbow Plank 3 Point Hops Instructions
Positioning
1. Start Position:
Begin on your forearms and knees. Your forearms should be parallel to each other and shoulder-width apart.
Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your knees. Avoid arching your back or lifting your hips too high.
Your feet should be hip-width apart, with your toes tucked under to provide stability.
Movement
Plank Position:
Step back with one foot at a time to come into a full elbow plank position. Your body should now be in a straight line from your head to your toes.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button toward your spine.
Hopping:
From the elbow plank position, lift your hips slightly and hop your feet outward to the left side, returning to the plank.
Next, hop your feet to the right side, returning to the plank again.
Continue to alternate the hops for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining a strong core and stable plank position.
Tips
Keep your head neutral, looking slightly ahead of your hands.
Move your feet in a controlled manner to avoid wobbling or losing balance.
Modify the exercise by stepping side to side instead of hopping if needed.
