Plank With a Shoulder Tap
- Begin with both hands firmly planted on the mat slightly further than shoulder-width distance apart. Your legs should be extended behind you and you should be resting on the balls of your feet.
- Lift your right hand up off of the ground to touch your left shoulder, ensuring that you brace your abdominals to keep your hips parallel to the floor. Lower your right hand back to the ground to return to the starting position.
- Repeat the same movement, this time lifting your left hand up and off the ground and touching your right shoulder. Lower your left hand to the ground and return to the starting position.
- Be sure to keep your hips square to the floor (your hip bones should always be pointing down toward the ground) at all times.
- Continue to alternate between the right and left sides.
- For week one, complete for 30 seconds. For week two, complete for 45 seconds. For week three, complete for one minute.
