Instructions
1. Start in a standard front plank position and ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels, with your elbows under your shoulders, forearms on the ground, and your fists clenched.
2. Engage your core and glute muscles to stabilize your body.
3. Maintain this position and move one foot out to the side, approximately 6 to 12 inches, then return to the starting position.
4. Repeat the same movement with the other foot. This counts as one repetition.
5. Continue alternating sides for a specific number of repetitions or for a set duration while maintaining a stable, neutral spine and hips level.
6. Keep your breathing steady and do not let your hips sag or raise up too high during the exercise.
7. After completing the exercise, relax back on to your knees to exit the plank position safely.
8. Remember to keep your core tight throughout the exercise and avoid any unnecessary twisting or dropping of the hips to maintain proper form and maximize the benefits of the exercise.
