Step-by-step instructions
- 1

Keep your core tight and your hips level.
- 3
Step your right foot and right elbow out to the right simultaneously.
- 4
Follow with your left foot and left elbow, returning to the starting plank width.
- 5
Reverse the movement, stepping to the left.

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.
