Huffman also told us that this is "a favorite variation to add in as soon as you are ready to elevate your plank practice."
- Start in high plank position on your palms.
- Lift up one leg without letting your hip dip or hike up, and shift your weight forward and then back.
- Make sure to maintain the same shape of your lower back and shoulders the entire time.
- Lower that leg, then lift the other.
- Continue for 60 seconds, alternating legs.
"Try stepping your feet out wider if you find it challenging to stabilize your hips while extending your leg," said Pena. "Remember to keep your head in line with your spine by gazing slightly forward of your fingertips. The more you keep your navel drawn in to your spine, the easier it will be to stabilize while alternating legs!"
