Plank Jack Slide with Towel
The plank jack without the jump: the feet rest on towels and slide apart and back together along the floor.
How to do it
Setup
High plank on the hands, the feet together on small towels on a smooth floor.
Steps
- Slide both feet apart as far as the hips stay level.
- Slide them back together without lifting them.
- Keep sliding in a steady rhythm; time it.
Common mistakes
Hips bouncing as the feet slide: brace so the trunk stays still. Towels bunching under the feet: use a smooth floor and keep the feet flat on them. Shoulders sinking: push the floor away.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
