Plank (Walking)

How to do it

1. Begin in a forearm plank with elbows stacked under your shoulders, forearms pressed flat into the floor, and feet set hip-width apart.
2. Press one palm into the floor and straighten that arm, then follow with the other arm to rise into a high plank.
3. Reverse the movement by lowering one forearm to the floor and then the other, returning to the starting forearm plank.
4. Keep your hips square and your core braced through every transition so your torso does not twist or rock.
5. Continue alternating the lead arm at a steady pace for the full work interval, exhaling as you press up and inhaling as you lower.
6. A common fault is letting the hips rise or sag during the transition, so hold a straight line from shoulders to heels throughout.
