HOW TO…
- Get into a High Plank position.
- Move your left hand outward, and then move your right hand outward.
- Next, do the same with your legs, move your left leg outward, and then move your right leg outward.
- Keep your core tight, don’t let your hips drop, and hold for about 3 secs.
- Lower your body back on your hands and knees.
Progression: Slowly increase the duration of the position until you can hold it for 30 seconds. Challenge yourself by spreading your arms and legs a little further.
