The Plank cross touch workout is an effective exercise that primarily engages the obliques and abs.

By using bodyweight, this workout targets the core muscles, promoting strength and stability.

It involves starting in a plank position and then touching opposite hand to opposite foot.

This exercise is great for toning the midsection and improving overall core strength and stability.

Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine.
Lift your right hand off the ground and reach it across your body to touch your left shoulder.
Return your right hand to the starting position and repeat the same movement with your left hand, reaching across your body to touch your right shoulder.
Continue alternating sides, touching each shoulder with the opposite hand, while maintaining a stable plank position.
Keep your hips level and avoid any twisting or rocking motion.
Complete the desired number of repetitions, ensuring proper form and control throughout the exercise.

Engage your core by imagining a string pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong and stable foundation for the Plank cross touch exercise.
Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, maintaining a neutral spine and avoiding any sagging or arching. This will maximize the activation of your obliques and abs.
As you lift your hand to touch the opposite shoulder, focus on rotating your torso and engaging your obliques to create a strong and controlled movement. Avoid any jerking or excessive twisting.
Breathe deeply and rhythmically throughout the exercise, inhaling as you prepare to touch your shoulder and exhaling as you return to the starting position. This will help you maintain focus and engage your core more effectively.
Challenge yourself by gradually increasing the duration of the exercise. Aim to hold the Plank position for at least 30 seconds before attempting the cross touch movement. As you progress, aim for longer durations and more repetitions to continuously challenge and strengthen your obliques and abs.
