Take your planking up a notch with a small addition. This is a great way to tone your abs!
How to do it
- Start by getting yourself into a push-up position. You want your arms extended beneath your shoulders and palms flat on the ground. Your legs should be straight out behind you, feet touching.
- Pull your abs in as if you were trying to bring your belly button into your spine.
- Move your feet with a small jump motion to the right. At the same time you’ll bring your knees toward your right elbow. Your torso should also twist to the right.
- Jump back to the starting position.
- Repeat the jumping motion, this time going to the left side.
- Continuing by alternating both sides until you complete 20 reps.
Tip: Make sure you have a flat surface and good sneakers to wear while performing this exercise.
