Exercise Description

Wide-Stance Plank With Leg Lift is a full-body exercise that trains your core, legs, glutes, and shoulders. Using a wider stance decreases the difficulty level of the exercise.

Exercise Instructions

    Stand on your elbows and toes with your torso facing the floor. Raise your hips, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your feet. Squeeze your body and spread your legs wider than shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
  • Step 2

    Without moving your body, lift one leg towards the ceiling. Hold the leg in this position for a few seconds. Lower the leg back to the floor.
