HOW TO…
- Get into a High Plank position.
- Lift your right leg up from the floor and move it to the left, over your left leg. (don’t lift the leg too high, but just high enough to move over the other leg.)
- Move the leg as far left as you can while holding the planking position.
- Now move the leg back next to the left leg for support (back to the High Plank position).
- Repeat with your other leg.
Progression: Perform the Horizontal Leg Swing as many times on each side as you can. Make sure to keep proper form, don’t let your hips sag, and don’t bend the knee of your supporting leg.
Variation: Too hard? First practice lifting the leg without moving it horizontally. Then start adding a little sideways movement until you can move it all the way.
Goal: Do the Horizontal Leg Swing planking exercise on each side (alternating sides) 10 times without resting.
Challenge:
Horizontal Leg Swing (one side).
Move to the High Plank position.
Do a push-up.
Horizontal Leg Swing (the other side).

This is one set. Repeat 5x.
