  1. Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles throughout the entire exercise. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine to activate those deep core muscles.
  2. Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, avoiding any sagging or arching of the back.
  3. Begin the hand walk to plank walk sideways by taking a small step to the side with your right hand, followed by your right foot. Then, repeat the same movement with your left hand and foot, moving laterally.
  4. Maintain a slow and controlled pace, focusing on the quality of your movement rather than speed. This will help you engage your abs more effectively and prevent any unnecessary strain on your joints.
  5. As you perform the exercise, imagine a string pulling your hips towards the ceiling, creating a straight line from your head to your heels. This will help you maintain proper form and maximize the engagement of your abs.
