Elbow Up and Down Dynamic Plank

Equipment

1

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.

2

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.

3

Keep alternating the leading arm with which you push up and lower down to ensure balanced strength development.

4

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
