Plank with Arm Reach Guide

• Get into a plank position on a mat with your forearms firm on the mat and feet close together.
• In that position, stretch out the left arm in front until it’s parallel to the floor. 
• Return the left hand to the floor and then extend the right arm. Alternate the hands after each rep.
• Perform as many reps as possible while maintaining proper form.

Trainer’s Tips 

• Ensure that your back is straight and avoid much straining by pulling in your navel towards your spine.
• Extend the arm until it’s parallel to the floor on each rep. 
• Avoid swinging your hips from side to side as you extend the arms. Keep the hips stable.
