1. Starting Position:
- Begin in a high plank position. Place your hands flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart, directly under your shoulders.
- Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core, and keep your back flat.
2. Feet Positioning:
- Keep your feet slightly apart to create a stable base. You can choose to keep them together if you feel balanced.
3. Movement:
- While maintaining a strong plank position, lift your right hand off the ground.
- Reach your right hand towards your left shoulder and tap it.
- Return your right hand to the starting position in the plank.
4. Alternating Sides:
- Now, lift your left hand off the ground.
- Reach your left hand towards your right shoulder and tap it.
- Return your left hand to the starting position.
5. Breathing:
- Remember to breathe throughout the movement. Exhale as you lift your hand and tap your shoulder.
6. Repetitions:
- Aim to perform 8-12 taps per side, maintaining control and stability throughout the exercise.
7. Tips:
- Keep your hips as still as possible; try not to twist or rotate your body while tapping.
- If you find it challenging, you can widen your feet for better stability. Consider performing the exercise on your knees if needed.
8. Completion:
- After completing your repetitions, carefully lower your knees to the ground to rest.
Remember to practice good form to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and prevent injury.
