Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Start in a forearm plank position with your elbows under your shoulders and your body in a straight line.

  2. 2

    Keep your core tight and your hips level.

  3. 3

    Step your right foot and right elbow out to the right simultaneously.

  4. 4

    Follow with your left foot and left elbow, returning to the starting plank width.

  5. 5

    Reverse the movement, stepping to the left.

  6. 6

    Continue alternating directions for the prescribed reps or time.

Notes

Keep your hips level and your core engaged throughout the lateral movement. Move at a controlled pace — speed is less important than maintaining proper plank form.
