Technique

  1. Start in a Plank on your hands, with your feet wider than your hips for balance.
  2. Shift your weight onto one hand and lift the other arm off the ground, reaching it forward or placing it on your back.
  3. Hold with your body parallel to the ground and your hips square, then switch sides.

Form tips

  1. Push the supporting shoulder away from the ground ( Shoulder protraction ) to keep the upper back slightly rounded.
  2. Keep a posterior Pelvic tilt and a slightly hollow body so the hips do not twist or sag.
  3. Bring your feet closer together to make it harder.
