Modified Knee Plank [Dumbbells]

The Modified Knee Plank on dumbbell handles combines the accessibility of the knee-supported plank with the elevated, neutral-grip hand position of the dumbbell variation.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Place two dumbbells on the floor shoulder-width apart. Grip the handles and start on your hands and knees.

  2. 2

    Walk your knees back slightly so your body forms a straight line from your head to your knees.

  3. 3

    Keep your core tight and your hips level.

  4. 4

    Grip the handles firmly throughout.

  5. 5

    Hold for the prescribed time.

Notes

Ensure the dumbbells are stable before beginning. This variation is a good bridge between the flat-palm modified plank and the full dumbbell plank.
