How to do it

Press the ground away through your palms the entire set.

  1. 1

    Start in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Bring your right knee towards your chest, then return it to the starting position.

  3. 3

    Follow by bringing your left knee towards your chest, then return it to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Continue alternating legs in a 'walking' motion, keeping your movements controlled.

Expert tip

Maintain a strong plank position throughout the exercise to engage your core and avoid sagging hips, which can put undue stress on your lower back.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Bouncing the hips up with each knee drive
