Elbow Up and Down Dynamic Plank

How to do it

1. 1Push up from the ground one arm at a time into a push-up position, keeping your body as stable and straight as possible.
2. 2Once you're in the push-up position, lower yourself back down one arm at a time to the original plank position.
3. 3Ensure that your core is engaged and your back is straight throughout the exercise to maintain proper form.
4. 4Repeat this movement for a set number of repetitions or for a specific time period, remembering to alternate the arm you start with each time.

Tips

• Controlled Movements: It's crucial to perform the exercise with slow, controlled movements. Rushing through the movements can lead to improper form and potential injury. When transitioning from your forearms to your hands, make sure to keep your core engaged and your body in a straight line. Avoid swaying or dipping your hips, which is a common mistake.
• Elbow Alignment: When you push up from your forearms, ensure your elbow aligns directly under your shoulder. This helps to avoid unnecessary strain on your shoulder joints. A common mistake is to place the hands too far forward, causing the elbows to move out of alignment.
