Instructions
1. Begin in a standard plank position, with your forearms on the ground, elbows directly under your shoulders, and legs extended straight behind you.
2. Your body should form a straight line from your heels to your head.
3. Brace your core by contracting your abdominals as if you're about to be punched in the stomach, but make sure to breathe normally.
4. Lift one foot off the ground and step forward slightly, keeping your leg straight. Tap your toe on the ground and then return your leg to the starting plank position.
5. Repeat the movement with the other leg, alternating steps while maintaining a strong plank position.
6. Keep your hips stable, and avoid any side-to-side swaying or dipping as you step.
7. Continue alternating steps for the desired number of repetitions or time.
Make sure to keep your back straight and avoid arching your lower back or sticking your buttocks up in the air throughout the exercise. Keep the movements controlled, and focus on maintaining good form to maximize the benefits and prevent injury.
