Front Plank with Arm Lift
The forearm plank with one arm at a time lifted straight forward; the trunk resists the twist toward the free side.
How to do it
Setup
On the forearms and toes, elbows under the shoulders, feet hip-width for balance.
Steps
- Reach one arm straight forward to shoulder height.
- Hold it a beat without the hips rocking.
- Set the forearm down and reach with the other arm.
Common mistakes
Hips turning toward the lifted arm: feet wider, brace before each reach. Shoulder sinking over the supporting elbow: push the floor away. Hips sagging between reaches: hold the plank throughout.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale returning.
