Instructions

  1. Start in a low plank with your body straight, elbows bent and under your shoulders, and feet hip-width apart.
  2. Turn your hips to the right and dip your body almost to the floor.
  3. Return to starting position and repeat on the left side. Continue alternating sides until the set is complete.

Tips

  • Try to keep your core engaged at all times, and push your belly button in toward your spine.
  • Keep your head, and neck relaxed, and dip your body low without losing your form.
