Shoulder Squat And Plank Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides.
  2. Bend your knees and lower your body into a squat position, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
  3. Place your hands on your shoulders, with your elbows pointing forward and your palms facing inward.
  4. Push through your heels and extend your legs to stand back up, maintaining the same shoulder position throughout the movement.
  5. Repeat the squat motion for the desired number of repetitions.

Shoulder Squat And Plank Tips

  1. Engage your abs throughout the entire shoulder squat and plank exercise to maintain stability and protect your lower back.
  2. Focus on driving through your quads when performing the shoulder squat, keeping your weight centered and your knees in line with your toes.
  3. Keep your core tight and your body in a straight line during the plank exercise, avoiding any sagging or lifting of your hips.
  4. Breathe deeply and exhale forcefully as you push through your quads during the shoulder squat, maximizing your power and control.
  5. For an extra challenge, try adding a resistance band around your thighs during the shoulder squat to engage your quads even more.
  6. Vary your plank exercise by incorporating different variations such as side planks or plank jacks to target your abs from different angles.
  7. Remember to warm up properly before attempting the shoulder squat and plank exercise to prevent injury and ensure optimal performance.
