Plank Walk-Up

From a high plank facing a low step, the hands walk up onto the step one at a time and back down to the floor, the hips kept still.

How to do it

Setup

High plank on straight arms, hands on the floor just in front of a low step platform, feet hip-width.

Steps

  1. Walk one hand up onto the step, then the other.
  2. Walk them back down to the floor, one at a time.
  3. Lead with the other hand on the next rep.

Common mistakes

Hips rocking side to side as a hand lifts: widen the feet and brace. Hips piking up to make it easier: keep the body in one line. Hands landing far out on the step: set each one under its shoulder.

Breathing

Steady throughout; never held.
