Incline Shoulder Tap
Equipment
Place your hands on the bench, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and extend your feet behind you so you're in a plank position.
Keep your core engaged, hips squared to the ground, and body in a straight line from head to heels.
Lift your right hand off the bench and tap your left shoulder, then place it back down.
Repeat the movement with your left hand tapping your right shoulder, and continue alternating sides for the duration of the exercise.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: As you lift one hand to tap the opposite shoulder, keep your core engaged and try to avoid rocking your hips. Many people make the mistake of rushing through the movement or allowing their body to sway from side to side, which can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and increase the risk of injury. Maintain Focus: Keep your gaze slightly ahead of your hands to help maintain a neutral spine. Don't look up or down as it can put unnecessary strain on your neck. Gradual Progression: If you're new to this exercise, start with a higher incline to make the move easier and gradually move to a lower incline as you get stronger. Don't
