Exercise Description

2-Point Plank is a body exercise that primarily targets the abs, shoulders, glutes, and lower back. This is also a great exercise that helps avoid illness, improves mental health, and builds core strength.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Position yourself with elbows and toes on the floor, keeping your elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Lift up your hips, forming a straight line from shoulders to feet. Brace your abs and squeeze your glutes.
  • Step 2

    Without allowing the body to rotate, simultaneously lift and extend one arm and the opposite leg until both are parallel to the floor. Return to the starting position and repeat lift with the other arm and leg.
