Plank alternating leg lift

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Start in a forearm plank with your knees resting on the mat for an easier base, elbows under your shoulders and your body in one straight line from head to knees. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you lift one leg a few centimetres off the mat, keeping your hips level and avoiding any twist, then breathe in as you lower it back down with control. Switch legs and continue alternating. Repeat 8 to 10 times on each leg.
