Instructions:

  • 1Start in a high plank position, ensure your body is in straight line from head to toes.
  • 2Bring one knee in towards your chest, keeping the toes of your other foot on the floor.
  • 3Quickly switch legs, pulling one knee out and bringing the other knee in.
  • 4Keep switching legs and pick up the pace until it feels a little like running in place in a plank position.

Tips:

  • Keep your abs pulled toward your spine to engage your core.
  • Ensure your hands are directly under your shoulders to keep the pressure off your arms and on your abs.
  • Try to keep your butt as low as possible.
  • Inhale as you switch legs.
