Plank reach-under (thread the needle)

• 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 hand and thread it underneath your body toward the opposite side, rotating your torso and following the movement with your eyes. Breathe in as you unwind back to the plank, then repeat on the other side. Continue alternating sides for 6 to 8 reaches.
