Plank Jacks Instructions

  1. Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Engage your core and jump both feet out to the sides, wider than hip-width apart, while keeping your upper body stable.
  3. Jump your feet back together, returning to the starting position.
  4. Continue jumping your feet in and out, maintaining a steady pace.
  5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Plank Jacks Tips

  1. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine throughout the exercise.
  2. Squeeze your glutes and outer thighs to activate your abductor muscles.
  3. Keep your shoulders directly above your wrists to maintain proper alignment.
  4. Land softly on your toes and avoid slamming your feet together to protect your joints.
  5. Control your breathing by inhaling as you jump your feet out and exhaling as you bring them back in.
  6. Start with a slower pace and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable with the movement.
  7. Challenge yourself by adding a resistance band around your ankles to intensify the workout.
