1. Start Position: - Begin on your forearms and knees. Your forearms should be parallel to each other and shoulder-width apart. - Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your knees. Avoid arching your back or lifting your hips too high. - Your feet should be hip-width apart, with your toes tucked under to provide stability.
Movement
2. Plank Position: - Step back with one foot at a time to come into a full elbow plank position. Your body should now be in a straight line from your head to your toes. - Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button toward your spine.
3. Hopping: - From the elbow plank position, lift your hips slightly and hop your feet outward to the left side, returning to the plank. - Next, hop your feet to the right side, returning to the plank again. - Continue to alternate the hops for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining a strong core and stable plank position.
Tips
- Keep your head neutral, looking slightly ahead of your hands. - Move your feet in a controlled manner to avoid wobbling or losing balance. - Modify the exercise by stepping side to side instead of hopping if needed.
