Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Begin in a high plank position with your hands placed directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.

    • Your feet should be hip-width apart, and your core should be engaged to maintain stability.

  2. Plank Walk Up:

    • Shift your weight onto your right hand and slowly lift your left hand off the ground.

    • Place your left hand on the surface next to your right hand, transitioning into an elevated position. Your arms should now be fully extended, resembling a push-up position.

  3. Return to Starting Position:

    • Reverse the movement by placing your left hand back on the floor and shifting your weight back onto your left arm.

    • Follow by lifting your right hand off the ground and placing it back on the floor in line with your shoulder.

  4. Repetition:

    • Continue to alternate your hands for a set number of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 on each side), ensuring smooth and controlled movements.

  5. Tips:

    • Keep your back straight and avoid letting your hips sag or rise during the exercise.

    • Breathe steadily throughout the movement, exhaling as you lift your hands and inhaling when returning to the plank position.

    • Engage your core and glutes to maintain stability and support your back.

Cool Down:
After completing the set, take a moment to stretch your arms, shoulders, and core to prevent stiffness.
