Modified High Plank

How to Modified High Plank

You Should Feel This: Abs

Exercise Families: Plank

Trainer: Ashley Steele

Steps:

1. Kneel on an exercise mat or floor with the knees and feet hip-width apart. Slowly shift your weight forward until the shoulders are positioned directly over the hands. This is the starting position.

2. Stiffen the torso by contracting your abdominal muscles and hold the modified high plank position for the specified amount of time.

3. Be sure to engage the core by tightening the abdominals throughout the plank. Keep the body straight and the hips level—not allowing the pelvis to drop to the floor or lift in the air as you fatigue.

4. You should feel this working the arms, shoulders, abs, and core.
