Begin in a forearm plank position with elbows under your shoulders and legs extended.
- 2
Engage your core and glutes to keep your body stable.
- 3
Slowly lift one leg up without bending the knee or arching your back.
- 4
Lower the leg back to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat with the other leg and continue alternating for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
