Forearm Plank: Leg Lift
The Forearm Plank Leg Lift adds a glute and hamstring challenge to the forearm plank by lifting one leg at a time while maintaining a stable core.
Equipment: None
1 / 9
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Start in a forearm plank position with your elbows under your shoulders and your body in a straight line.
- 2
Keep your core tight and your hips level.
- 3
Slowly lift your right leg a few inches off the floor by squeezing your right glute.
- 4
Hold briefly, then lower your right foot back to the floor.
- 5
Repeat on the left side, alternating legs for the prescribed reps or time.
Notes
The key is to keep your hips level as you lift each leg — do not let them rotate or tilt. The movement should be small and controlled, driven by the glute.
