Step 1
Get on all fours with your knees and toes bent and touching the floor. Your hips should be above your knees. Your arms should be slightly wider than your shoulders and directly below your shoulders. Keep your hands on the floor and rotate your shoulders to engage your lats.
Step 2
Stretch your legs, lift your knees off the floor, and get into a push-up position. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider. Pre-tension your shoulders and hips by engaging your core. Keep your ribs down and your pelvis slightly bent.
Step 3
Tighten your quadriceps and glutes. Your chin should remain pressed throughout the movement as if you were holding an egg under your chin. All repetitions should start from this starting position. Keep engaging your core and keeping your whole body tense. Hold the desired time.

High Plank targets Total Body as seen below.

Always select a weight that allows you to have full control of your body throughout the movement.
