Plank Rotation Instructions

  1. Start by getting into a push-up position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to toe.
  2. Engage your core muscles by squeezing your abs and glutes.
  3. Slowly lift your right hand off the ground and rotate your body to the left, extending your right arm towards the ceiling.
  4. Keep your hips and shoulders square to the ground as you rotate.
  5. Return your right hand to the starting position and repeat the rotation with your left hand.

Plank Rotation Tips

  1. Start by getting into a high plank position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line.
  2. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine, and squeeze your glutes to keep your body stable.
  3. Slowly rotate your body to one side, lifting one arm towards the ceiling and opening up your chest. Keep your hips and legs as still as possible.
  4. Hold the rotation for a few seconds, feeling the stretch in your obliques and abs. Focus on breathing deeply throughout the movement.
  5. Return to the starting position and repeat the rotation on the other side. Remember to keep your body aligned and your abs engaged.
  6. To make the exercise more challenging, you can lift one leg off the ground while rotating. This will further engage your core and improve balance.
  7. Perform 10-12 reps on each side, gradually increasing the number as you get stronger. Consistency is key, so aim for at least 2-3 sets during your workout.
