  4. Inhale and return your right foot back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the same movement with your left foot, stepping it out to the side as wide as possible, and then bring it back to the starting position.

Plank Feet Out (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by getting into a high plank position with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart.
  2. Engage your core by squeezing your abs and glutes, keeping your body in a straight line from head to toe.
  3. While maintaining the plank position, lift one foot off the ground and extend it straight back, engaging your abs even more.
  4. Hold this position for a few seconds, focusing on keeping your hips stable and your core tight.
  5. Lower your foot back down and repeat the movement with the opposite foot, alternating between sides.
  6. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
  7. As you become more comfortable, try to increase the duration of each plank, aiming for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
