- Begin by assuming a high plank position with the arms extended, hips level and in line with your torso.
- Without excessively shifting the hips, slowly shift the weight onto one side, and tap one shoulder.
- Switch sides slowly, without rocking the hips, and tap the opposite shoulder.
Note: As you get fatigued, technique can start to be affected – allowing the hips to rise too high towards the ceiling, or to sag down towards the floor. Fight the urge to break your form, and keep the hips neutral, without too much movement up or down. If this feels too challenging, start by having your hands elevated onto a higher surface, such as a chair, the edge of a bed, or sofa. Work towards lowering down to a slightly less elevated surface, and eventually performing from the floor in a plank position.
