How to do it

Hold the top of each lift for a full second before returning.

    Begin in a push-up position with your hands under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.

  2. 2

    Lift your right arm forward and left leg up, keeping your body as still as possible.

  3. 3

    Return to the starting position and repeat with the left arm and right leg.

  4. 4

    Alternate the arm and leg lifts for the desired number of repetitions.
