Elbow Up and Down Dynamic Plank
Equipment
Push up from your forearms one arm at a time into a push-up position, keeping your back straight and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Once you're in the push-up position, lower yourself back down one arm at a time to the initial plank position, maintaining a tight core throughout.
Keep alternating the leading arm with which you push up and lower down to ensure balanced strength development.
Repeat this movement for your desired amount of repetitions or time duration, remembering to keep your body straight and your movements controlled.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movements: When moving from the elbow plank to the high plank position, make sure you push up with one hand followed by the other, ending in a push-up position. Then, lower yourself back down, one arm at a time, into the elbow plank position. Keep your movements controlled and steady, not rushed. This will help to engage your core muscles more effectively. Maintain Core Engagement: Throughout the exercise, keep your abs pulled in so you remain stable and your body doesn't rock side to side as you move. This is a common mistake that can lead to ineffective workouts and potential injury
