Day 24 – Lateral Arm Raise

The Lateral Arm Raise is a plank with an extra balance challenge. Since one arm is lifted and stretched sidewards, this one-armed high-plank is difficult!

Lateral Arm Raise

HOW TO…

  1. Position yourself into High Plank.
  2. Stabilize your position: (a) head not sinking between your shoulders, (b) holding abs tight, and (c) not letting hips sink closer to the ground.
  3. Lift your right arm straight to the side, palm down.
  4. Hold this position for 3-5 secs.
  5. Return to starting position.
  6. Switch sides.

Progression: Perform the Lateral Arm Raise Plank (both sides), and then rest in the starting position (High Plank) 5-10 secs before you do the next one.

Variation: Too hard? Perform the Lateral Arm Raise (both sides), and then rest by lowering your knees to the ground while in the starting position (High Plank).

Goal: Lateral Arm Raise 10x (each side) without resting.

Challenge:
Lateral Arm Raise Plank 1x.
High Plank and do a push-up 1x.
This is one set. Work your way up to repeat 12x.
