Plank Jack
What is a Plank Jack?
While holding a traditional plank is a great exercise for your core, a plank jack takes the exercise to a higher level of difficulty (and fun!) by adding a cardio element to raise your heart rate.
How do you do a Plank Jack?
Stap 1
Begin on all fours. Place your palms shoulder-width apart, making sure your shoulders are aligned directly over your wrists.
Stap 2
Extend your legs out behind you to get into plank position. Tuck your pelvis under and ensure your middle back is in a hollow position.
Stap 3
Keeping your shoulders over your wrists and your abs drawn in, jump your feet out slightly wider than hip-distance apart. Jump them back together and repeat the exercise.
