Begin on your stomach, with both hands about shoulder width apart and both wrists stacked evenly below the shoulders.
Push into the ground with the back of your feet and press the chest, hips, and knees away from the floor.
Using one arm at a time, push into the ground and bring one hand to tap the opposite shoulder. Maintain balance and stability throughout the movement, being mindful to stay in control while you shift your weight from side to side.
Maintain even alignment, without letting the hips sag down toward the floor or arch upward.
Repeat these shoulder taps from the plank position for 30 seconds, and return to the starting position.
