Leg Extension Plank

1. Start in a standard plank position with your forearms and toes on the ground, elbows under your shoulders, and your body in a straight line from head to heels.

2. Engage your core and glutes to maintain stability throughout the movement. Keep your neck and spine neutral, looking down at the floor.

3. Slowly lift one leg off the ground, extending it straight back without letting your hips twist or dip. Keep the rest of your body as still as possible.

4. Hold the extended leg position for a brief moment, then lower it back to the starting plank position.

5. Repeat the leg extension with the opposite leg, again maintaining stability and avoiding hip or lower back sagging.

6. Alternate between legs for the desired number of repetitions or hold the plank and leg extension for a specific duration.

7. Remember to breathe steadily during the exercise and focus on engaging your core to support the movement.

Make sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner to minimize risk of injury and to get the most benefit from the workout. If you find the exercise too difficult, you can modify it by performing the plank on your knees instead of your toes before working up to the full leg extension plank.
