Plank Knee To Elbow

Video coming soon...

The plank knee to elbow workout is a bodyweight exercise that targets the obliques.

By bringing the knee towards the opposite elbow, the obliques are engaged and strengthened.

This exercise primarily focuses on the obliques, without overstating its effect on auxiliary muscles.

The bodyweight is used as resistance, making it an effective workout for the obliques.

Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart.
Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine.
Bend your right knee and bring it towards your right elbow, keeping your back straight and your hips stable.
Pause for a moment, then extend your right leg back to the starting position.
Repeat the movement on the left side, bringing your left knee towards your left elbow.
Continue alternating sides, maintaining a controlled and steady pace.
Complete the desired number of repetitions.

Engage your core by imagining a string pulling your belly button towards your spine. This will help you maintain a strong and stable plank position throughout the exercise.
As you bring your knee towards your elbow, focus on twisting your torso and engaging your oblique muscles. Imagine squeezing an orange between your ribs to activate those muscles even more.
Keep your shoulders away from your ears and maintain a neutral spine. Avoid rounding your back or hunching your shoulders, as this can put unnecessary strain on your neck and upper back.
Breathe deeply and rhythmically throughout the exercise. Inhale as you prepare for the movement, and exhale as you bring your knee towards your elbow. This will help you maintain control and stability.
Start with slow and controlled movements, gradually increasing the speed and intensity as you become more comfortable and confident. Remember, it’s better to perform the exercise with proper form and technique than to rush through it and risk injury.
