Bear Plank
A still hold on the hands and toes with the knees hovering just off the floor: the bear crawl's position without the steps.
How to do it
Setup
Hands under the shoulders, knees under the hips, toes tucked.
Steps
- Lift the knees just off the floor.
- Keep the back flat and the hips level.
- Hold; set the knees down to end the set.
Common mistakes
Hips rising above the shoulders: lower them until the back is flat. Knees creeping forward under the chest: keep them under the hips. Shoulders behind the wrists: stack them over the hands.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
