This is an advanced plank that uses a level change to add arm strength to the core stabilization.
- Start in a low plank position with your elbows directly under your shoulders.
- Move into a high plank by replacing your left elbow with your left hand and your right elbow with your right hand.
- Reverse the movement to bring yourself back to the starting position.
- Repeat for 10 reps.
