HOW TO…
- Get into a Full Reverse Plank position.
- Lift your left leg while keeping it straight. Lift it to about a 30-degree angle with your other leg.
- Hold for 3 seconds.
- Lower the left leg back to the floor.
- Repeat for the other leg (do not sit down in between).
Note: Make sure to not lift your legs too high. Going beyond the 30-degree angle will not exercise your core any further. In addition, the higher leg position shifts the weight to above your hips, increasing the risk that your hips will sag.
Progression: Hold the reverse leg lift position for up to 10 seconds on each side. Repeat both sides 10 times.
Variation: Too hard? Limit the lift of your leg. Just left the leg from the ground to start. Increase the lift as you get stronger. You can also sit down in between repetitions if need be.
